An end-of-summer appreciation

EVG reader Tulsi shared this photo of a well-maintained sidewalk garden on 13th Street and First Avenue that we've admired. 

Per Tulsi: 
There are tomatoes growing in this garden, and so far they have managed to survive squirrels, rats, birds, and humans. There are a group of very silly/pretty tree gardens in this corner. They were delightfully decorated with aluminum foil, plastic forks, and rocks earlier in the summer, and they are full of very healthy plants now. Cheers to the health of these tomatoes and to the gardeners — I hope they reap ripe rewards.

Sign of a lonely plant on East 4th Street



Vinny & O spotted this guilt-inducing stolen plant sign outside Bond Street Chocolate on East Fourth Street between Second Avenue and the Bowery...



Please return the plant.

It was very happy here. Its sibling is very lonely now.
