Fragment from the book "Andy Wormwood. The Urban Farm". Translated into English by a neural network.

Where is urban gardening going?

In 2018, after the self-dissolution of the city farm team, Andy and I built a greenhouse on wheels. Actually, initially we were building a house with transparent walls and a roof, hoping to grow something while traveling around Russia. But I received my driver's license at the same time as the construction was completed, and I realized the extreme danger of this event for others. After all, I had no driving experience at all, let alone driving with a trailer. Therefore, we gratuitously provided our house to the guys who grow microgreens in St. Petersburg (young shoots of plants that are used both for food and for decorating dishes). After agreeing with the restaurateur and the chef, I installed the van at a panoramic restaurant, which overlooks an artificial football field with plastic grass and rubber ground. Immediately after that, I left the city, leaving Andy with new friends to do his favorite thing. In winter, when it got really cold, it was decided to use the greenhouse to transport a drum kit and some things to the south of the country. By that time I was there. Do you remember where I am sitting, writing these lines?

The members of the rescue expedition had no idea where they were.

Andy Polin was in the trailer, which allowed him, without changing his location, to go for the continuation of this story.
