Massive congratulations to you on this most happy day!

I would personally add some salad type stuff in the gaps, like rocket, lettuce & parsley. And then i would let a few plants go to flower at the end of the year and collect seeds as these things will potentially grow through the winter. We always drop below zero here but the rocket, lettuce & parsley are not affected. It should be noted that if a plant is capable of growing all year, then we should probably be eating it all year.

You could also just let the seeds drop where they want at the end of the year and see where they start to grow. Usually they choose the place where they are happiest.

Don't forget to throw in a bit of electroculture!

The most simple thing you could do is just spiral some copper wire on a stick (ideally going clockwise from the top to the bottom) and put it in the middle of the plants. You will see how the plants closer to the antenna are healthier and this will make you want more elctroculture...

Have fun & please give my best wishes to the magnificent city of New York 🌱
