Take a look around the Jersey City roof garden M & P share with their dog Caruso. There’s a couple of firsts here: we’ve never seen roof garden tomato plants this huge . . . and we’ve never seen a rooftop water garden before.
M’s morning glory vines are climbing a rope trellis he made. See how the vines will cover the rust stains dripping down the roof!
“The tomatoes got HUGE then waterlogged but i think they were saved. The watermelons are doing well too,” says M. They covered up their tomato plants with garbage bags to protect them from these record breaking June rains.
M and P, thanks for these amazing roof garden photos.
