How cute, quaint and little! I can honestly say I never would have thought that it was going to be what it is today!!!
This picture was just taken in the fogginess of the morning today and this massiveness is 360 degrees around the tower. As you can imagine we have saved a BUNDLE on produce this summer. Through drought and everything else this summer threw at us, we had fresh produce out on the deck. We have ate like kings with romaine, broccoli leaves, spinach, tomatoes... ohhh the tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, zucchini and cucumbers.
We are learning along the way and know that eight spaces for tomatoes with at east two plants in them each was, well, WAY too many. They were so small before! It is like getting a baby tiger and saying "It will be fine. Look how cute he is!"
We have learned how to plan the tiers according to mature plant size to accommodate for shading and weight. We have learned about more things that we would love to grow in our tower and we are looking forward to a winter harvest this year.
I REALLY have to get a handle on this canning things before pounds and pounds of tomatoes go to waste. Good thing I have some neighbors who like tomatoes as well!!!
*( To find out more about the tower go to the Tower Garden website or contact me directly through this blog or on facebook! I would be happy to answer any questions)
