DC: What are you working on beyond the farm? ZP: I started Rooftop Ready Seeds in 2010 to supply city gardeners with vegetable and herb seeds that are more suitable for their unique growing conditions — plants are urban-heat-island-affected, exposed to heavy winds and extreme sun exposure on rooftops, and usually confined to containers. It’s a small company and is definitely a side project, but I’m growing it steadily every year. I had 27 varieties this year and will have closer to 50 for 2014. I sell seed in my online store and in local garden stores — two in Brooklyn and one in Harlem.
