Vegetables gardens are usually thought of as being a SE Portland staple, but with cedar planting boxes, they have made inroads in NE Portland. Here are some of the nicest looking ones, and most functional, that I saw this week in Rose City Parks. To view homes for sale in this neighborhood, see the real estate page for Rose City Park.

The Buckman neighborhood in Southeast Portland has a great farmers market that runs from May through September, and is
every Thursday from 3-7pm. This unique time is perfect for the neighborhood because it allows people to stop in after work and pick up food for the rest of the week, and weekend entertaining. In a neighborhood so close to downtown and in such a bike friendly area, having a farmers market that is accesable by bike and walking is a big plus. Check out their site, Buckman Farmers Market.
