Fun With Tower Garden

Week 7 of Fun With Tower Garden - New Food - New Dishes - New Events

Interest in the Fun With Tower Garden blog continues to grow with 558 views to date. It's been especially rewarding to be able to make new dishes with the Tower Garden food. We are now listing links for new events that you can attend to see and learn about the Tower Garden on the right side of the blog listing at www.funwithtowergarden.blogspot.com. My distributor team members are also identified on the right side of the blog webpage with their pictures and website links.

At Week 7 of my Tower Garden growth we are seeing a thinning at the bottom as the squash, cucumbers, and watermelon spill over the sides and onto my deck.

I helped Jisele buy plants and prepare them for her new Tower Garden. She is also growing a few plants using the seeds that come with the Tower Garden kit. At 3-4 inches tall, the seedlings will have enough roots to put into the Tower Garden. Seedlings include cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, and basil. Plants put in Jisele's tower include honeydew melon, okra, sage, thyme, watermelon, squash, and lavender for the beautiful scent.

Two plants I'm concerned about in my tower are the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. The spinach is yellowing rather than a deep green and I'm thinking I may need to add iron which is not included in my new fertilizer. The sun-dried tomatoes are turning black on the bottoms and the leaves are getting thinned out and turning brown. I'm open to suggestions from gardeners who are reading this blog. Please add comments below. I will be visiting the local hydroponic store for their advice and will let you know what I find out next week.

The cucumbers are amazing at 20 inches in length and very delicious. I picked these two to make a wonderful cucumber salad for my daughter's graduation party. I was thrilled to find a new small cucumber growing that managed to get pollinated. I'm seeing one honey bee visiting my Tower Garden in the mornings to help me with the pollination..

Dishes made for the party included cucumber salad with cucumbers and chives from the tower, potato salad using tower parsley, and salsa (not pictured) using tower tomatoes, parsley, and peppers. It's wonderful to have garden fresh herbs to compliment the delicious food flavors. Next time I will grow some cilantro. The flavorful mint continues to both hot and cold tea. On the right is all the vegetable scraps I have been saving to make soup stock (after my daughter suggested this) - included are potato, carrot, cucumber peels, ends of onions, stems and tops from celery and the herbs. Once it's all cooked in the crock pot all day, the veggies will be removed leaving delicious and tasty stock for making soups. I added chicken bones to mine, but just veggies is good too.

A compliment the wonderful food and delicious herbs is the best part of all - making money being a distributor. After the sale of my tower garden to me, four others sold by my first distributor, and the purchase of Juice Plus by me and my distributor I had the points to make my second promotion and a bonus check of $250. I am more than half way to paying for my Tower Garden and well past the payments I've made to date.

If you want your own Tower Garden with or without a distributor business call me at 512-255-0075 or visit my website to order yours now. There's still time to grow some summer plants, or get started on your fall garden.
