| Hi, has anybody grown fruiting plants/vegetables in manhattan? Are there adequate bugs to pollinate the plants to set fruit? I had been planning on planting tomatoes and watermelon, but now I'm wondering if there will be any pollinators. |

Story on NYC urban gardens

| I'm working on a story for New York Magazine about urban gardens and gardening culture in New York City. I'm looking for unusual gardens---corn growing in Manhattan, very large gardens with unusual plants and/or animals like peacocks and/or chickens, exotic plant farms, that sort of thing. If anyone has information on this, could you please email me at lisamcollins@gmail.com. Thank you! |

| I hope you find your tomatoes doing well. I have planted them in 5 gallon buckets and they are doing quite well. We get a lot of butterflies and other pollenators coming through. |

| Fruits and vegetables grow all over Manhattan -- backyards and rooftops. Think tomatoes, chard, fruit, etc. |
