GARDENS
Hunger
took grip of the besieged city and its citizens started to discover many
plants which grew everywhere, finding out that they had a nice taste.
Nettles and dandelion found their way to the markets, at quite high prices.
Open Society Fund sent to the city 2 million dollars worth of pumpkin,
carrot, tomato, lettuce and corn seeds. All green surfaces, the parks,
around the houses, boxes on balconies, became gardens, different from
those admired by foreign travelers. There were no roses, lilacs and holly.
