And now for a little change of pace: A condo terrace overlooking Green-wood Cemetery…I’m trying to achieve a balance between an outdoor place to entertain and relax and a place to grow vegetables, plants and herbs. My wife is a baker and I cook a lot so we entertain as much as we can in the summer. I’ve got a wide variety of vegetation out there including tomato plants, peppers, celery, swiss chard, strawberries, peas, beans, cucumbers, lots of lettuces and mustard greens and then every herb under the sun (pun intended there) — sage, chives, chamomile, rosemary etc. etc. It’s amazing how easy it is to sustain a garden on a roof deck, you just need some good soil, lots of light and a nice watering for 5 minutes a day and we don’t really have to worry about pests or weeds in our little ecosystem.
Any other terrace submissions out there?

Someone who can’t find a single spot of delight or inspiration in any interior or garden they look at is not truly talented at design. Big fat phony. Sorry to speak the truth, 12:38.
People who are the real thing will see potential in anything; their minds immediately start working that way – they embrace what they like in a space and excitedly suggest ways to improve what they don’t like. You have nothing of the personality or abilities of a design genius, that’s very clear. So stop pretending.
12:30 / 2:47 – you sound incredibly bitter. I feel really bad for you that you think your taste is better than everyone else and that you also feel the need to berate other peoples lovely homes with undue course. You should be ashamed of yourself, but, you won’t because you hide behind the anonymity of commenting on the internet.
Show your ‘fantastic’ garden so others can learn from your unique wisdom, or, shut the heck up!
4: 48 – I may. it’s fantastic. this is below average. sure they like it, but not worth posting. the brownstoner crowd shows it lack of taste over and over again. what’s new.
sorry to speak the truth.
To die for 🙂 lovely, ignore the haters
Nope, it’s not the Simone. This is on the other side (west side) of the cemetery.
Is this the Simone building?
Yeah 2:47. What is your idea of ‘impressive furniture’? It’s a gorgeous wooden table that seats 12 people and plants in clay pots? You sound very bitter and rude.
I think it’s a great space. Such a nice garden! And the views!!!
2:47 is bitter and jealous – their mean words prove it.
2:47, please post the link to your garden so we can see a truly inspiring space with an impressive furniture arrangement, wonderful pots, and impressive attention to scale.
