Thank you for joining the growing group of Fun With Tower Garden blog viewers with 647 views to date. It's been an amazingly wonderful cool and rainy week here in Central Texas. Quite unusual for mid-July. The Tower Garden loves the weather and I do too because less water additions and I don't have to worry about overheating like I do with 100+ degree days.
PROPAGATION: The Tower Garden comes with seeds and a starter kit so I decided to try some out for sharing and for displays. You add 1 or 2 seeds to the rock wool set in the net pot, cover with a little vermiculite, and add water to the container. It takes 3-6 days to germinate. These are at about a week and a half since starting, including time for germination. The largest is the cucumber, second - the cherry tomato and smallest is the basil.
I also noticed a peppermint cutting from my plant started to root. It's ready for the roots to be surrounded by rock wool, put into a net pot and added to a Tower Garden. I plan to give this to one of my new distributors for their Tower Garden. Sharing keeps the costs down.
My strawberry plant continues to flower, however, I don't see much in the way of growth afterwards. Are they just slow, not ready or not getting pollinated? I'm not sure but open to information from others with some experience.
PRODUCE: These two zucchini babies look healthy. Once their flowers open, they can be pollinated. Then the growth really happens fast - less than a week to get to 8-9 inches.
The watermelon growth has really slowed down. This one is at 6 inches in diameter. The 4 inch one continues to get a little larger each week.
Thanks to those who visited our booth at Christmas in July, including a fellow Tower Garden owner. It was fun to share experience, information and ideas.
