How my tower garden has grown in three weeks!  My husband put in some extensions on the top and now we added 8 more plants…totaling 28! :)  Things are really growing with all the sun and heat we’ve been getting lately.  My first harvest was  yesterday when I needed just a little bit of parsley and cilantro for a beautiful garnish.  And I’ve been regularly tasting the arugula and kale. :)  Saw a few flowers on the taller tomato plant today too!  Love gardening where I don’t have to water or weed.

This is my second year of having the Tower Garden.  Last year I didn’t have the tower till July, so I am two months ahead this year!  I’m so excited!  I ordered 20 plants and a bunch that I didn’t have last year like tomatoes, eggplant, celery, snap peas, watermelon, and cantaloupe. The BEST part about my garden is that I don’t have to water or weed…which leaves me more time to do the things that I love…like taking a long walk at the Morton Arboretum. :) Here are some images of my tiny plants. So excited to watch them grow!
