As described by them its a&nbsp; "<strong>global event centered in San Francisco where artists, activists, and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spots into &ldquo;PARK(ing)&rdquo; spaces: temporary public parks</strong>." Not sure if you would say if its global if its only San Fran, but anyway...</p>
<p>I was wondering if this would take off here in Sydney. What do you think?</p>

The great thing was Sydney City Council was giving out plants for free to anyone that wanted them. I adore fresh home grown tomatoes and have fond memories of my parents vege patch. There is nothing like the smell and taste. Supermarket brought ones are tasteless in comparison.</p>
<p>SO... living in a small unit, with a tiny balcony&nbsp;and desperate to relive my childhood,&nbsp;I brought my tomato plant home, (big red variety) watered and lovingly tended to it. It quickly out grew the small pot and I had a brain wave - 1 2Litre milk bottle + 1 knife = new recycled pot for my lovely plant!</p>
<p>So as you can see my happy "milk" tomato are coming along really well. Will post updates of their progress:)</p>
