Found growing in the bed of our much-maligned but never-fail ’89 Nissan pick-up: one seedling of unknown creed, enjoying the leaf mulch being created as last fall’s leaves break down. Nature makes neglect a beautiful thing, no?
If we didn’t use the truck for hauling manure and moving friends’ boxes, I might consider helping nature along and turn the truck into a mobile garden.

That is awesome!
Fern @ Life on the Balcony says
I wonder what it is? Any guesses?

Just goes to show that seeds can grow nearly anywhere!
Andrea Bellamy says
Katie! So glad to hear you’re back in action. Are you feeling well?
Fern – I’m pretty sure it’s a tree. A seedling from one of the street trees it’s normally parked under. If I didn’t suck at tree identification, I could tell you what that is!
Rob says
Pretty cool there

Love this idea. I wrote about Brooklyn truck farmers, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, in my story Brooklyn Farm Keeps on Truckin? who developed the Truck Farm Community Supported Agriculture Program: http://bit.ly/Uso7g
