The plants or crops — or whatever was managing to grow there — were removed by an unknown source last week, returning this particular patch of Avenue A to its more familiar state.
Some readers may recall that the tree well enjoyed a brief horticultural renaissance in the spring of 2024, when a resident cleaned out the muck and added a collection of plants.
However, it didn't last, as this tree well seems to be connected to an underground life force bubbling up from the earth's core. (Fact check, please.)
The smell, however, remains. We once described it as "dead vampires" and were quickly called out for it: "Have you ever smelled a dead vampire?"
Dammit.
Anyway.
Nature is healing?

Isn't "dead vampires" an oxymoron?
Busted again!
The flying rats love the stench 🥰
Dead Vampire the perfume/cologne for the Goth crowd.
Grieve have you been hitting that con ed kush
don't vampires go from undead to dead once they get staked?
Been huffing the vapors from the stagnant pool of water ...
it was cleaned by Parks Dept
🖤
"Cleaned" seems like the wrong word, somehow. Modified? Reworked? Altered?
Ugh. Due to the soil quality issue this pit might do better with a more mature tree or a woody shrub that can take some abuse. Very challenging
Are we sure it was the Parks Dept? On the UES a preschool was growing corn in a tree bed and Sunday afternoon a mysterious man on a Citibike tore it all up (they have security cam footage from a nearby business). The Parks Dept told the press that they don't tear down tree bed plantings, in fact they encourage them.
