I read this and was very excited. My how far we've come from 1980 when Ronald Regan had the solar panels Jimmy Carter installed on the White house roof removed.
You would be surprised at what you can grow in Somerville, even in the shade. That pumpkin in the photo above, 202.5 lbs. and 13th place at the Topsfield Fair, was grown in the backyard on Francesca Ave.
I would talk to someone at Pemberton maybe, or maybe even ask your landlord if some branches could be taken down to let more sun in.
This story inspired me to start my compost pile. the City of Somerville has very nice composters for sale for a nominal fee. Next, I need to start my tomatoes.
