Restart!

I cleaned out my Tower Garden and started new seedlings. When I filled the reservoir, I discovered that the pump was no longer working. I just received a replacement from Amazon. 

Here goes again!

Bigger tomatoes

One of the best things coming out of my tower garden are the tomatoes!

If these are cherry tomatoes, they are the biggest I've seen !

Swiss Chard is growing and the scallions are blossoming. Soon I'll have baby onions to plant. 

Winter Cleaning

I decided to pull the big plants out. The Brussels sprouts were not sprouting and the tomatoes were attracting bugs. The kale was being invaded by butterfly larvae so I pulled them all out and started new seeds. 

End of the kale. 

Mizuna is doing well. 

Green Onions are well. 

The end of the cherry tomatoes. 

New sprouts!

New seedlings started. 

Cleaned and ready for the new seedlings!

Go with the Flow

It's been hard to make new starts so I am just enjoying the big stuff.

Cherry tomatoes are thriving. 

So are the Brussels sprouts (but no sprouts) and kale. 

These leaves make a wonderful contribution to my chicken bone soup!

Yum yum

Sorry, been remiss in keeping up to date with my Tower Garden. Suffice it to say that it has been producing some delicious veggies!

Broccoli is starting to bud!

Been enjoying lots of kale. 

I've got new seedlings planted too. 

Now that summer is in full force, I have to refill the water reservoir every few days. So I am using nutrients at half strength to keep up. 

The zucchini and tomatoes are not getting past the flowering stage so I have other varieties sprouting now. 

The okra is like a tree. Producing large and tender veggies that I am harvesting often. 

Time to start some new seedlings.

It is summer and it is HOT! I have to keep refilling the water and nutrients every few days. Because it is so hot and evaporating quickly, I'm using the nutrients at half strength.

Loving the okra!

Nutrients and a flower at last!

Wow! The water level went down to nothing in this hot summer weather. 

Tonight I refilled the water reservoir and added nutrients. 

This morning I was excited to see the first okra flower!

Hope to have some okra soon!

Lots more buds too. 

Bugs are getting to some of the plants... 

While others are thriving!

All in all, it's still awesome!
