Look everybody, my tomatoes are beautiful. I am struggling with the extremes of the rooftop micro climate, help! Lots of wind and too much direct sun. I built a structure to provide shade (for me and the plants) but it fell down in the latest windstorm. Argh. I will be trying again. I would like to convince my landlord to install a green roof on the building. Perhaps PLANYC will include green roof incentives...the building houses a business on the ground floor and me on the second so I guess it might benefit from either business or residential-focused greening incentives? My side of the neighborhood is chock full of warehouses with energy wasting tar roofs, clearly the neighborhood and city would benefit if they were all green.
