Beautiful Tower Garden!

We got our Tower Gardens delivered August 3rd. We only filled the one of the towers on that day. We filled it mostly with seedlings from Montecito Urban Farms. 

Johnny Jump Up (August 3rd)


So far all of our seedlings have done fabulously so far. Our Johnny Jump Ups are one example of the crazy growth that we have seen in the past three weeks or so.

Our first tower set up full of seedlings (August 3rd)

And today:

Since then I have been experimenting with sprouting seedlings myself. I have collected a crazy amount of seeds in these three weeks. Some of my favorites being the local All Good Things Organic Seeds from Ojai, CA. 
Here is how our vine plant seedlings started out.

This one is a round squash seedling.


The second tower is full of vine plants: pumpkins, dark star zucchini, lemon cucumber, round squash, and tomatoes that I planted only one week ago. 

Now it looks like this!

The first tower looks like this. 


Crazy growth on both towers! It is so exciting to wake up and check out the growth every morning. 

Here is the third tower.
