Spring In Noe Valley: Seeds On Streets


We completely missed this (but think we may have an excuse as the chica wearing the parka reminds us how unspring-like the weather is thanks to El NiƱo). Feel the Earth, led by "award-winning visionary leader" Jonathan Silverman, was on 24th St yesterday. From the website:
Why:
Our community goal is using public space to support local urban food production. For 4 hours we will gather 200 participants to work together to seed 50 flats.

Impact:
Over 2,000 vegetables/herbs/flowers seedlings are to be distributed throughout the needs of various schools and local community gardens that are established in San Francisco.

Urban farming is fun and everything, but lets not kid ourselves that it is energy efficient or a solution to any of our problems. Just a reality check.

Actually, my problem was I wanted incredibly fresh organic veggies for dirt cheap. And urban farming was EXACTLY the solution to my problem.

Just a reality check, bro.
