Every morning, before the sun makes the walks unbearable, Zosia and I walk to community garden to pick our vegetables for the day. Lately our new favorites are katuk and moringa leaves.  

I leave a plate of leaves on the table for quick snacks throughout the day.

In this tropical climate garden there are a lot perennial vegetables that grow continuously and you can eat the fruit, the leaves and the roots.

The garden has annual vegetables like lettuce, celery, onions growing under the geodesic dome. A newly installed irrigation system that uses less water helps the plants survive during the dry season. The gardeners make their own worm tea which is used as organic fertilizer, as well deterring bugs (works for mosquitoes too) from eating the leaves off plants.
