We are looking forward to seeing what our spring gardening yields this year. After the strawberry issue, and a very unusual winter, we returned to the growing on the tower. I added fresh chives to my breakfast this morning. I love being able to forage from my tower. An added benefit of my tower is that sitting outside to eat my morning breakfast allows to me to enjoy the water sounds from the fountain that recycles the water in the tower, showering the plants in intervals.
My rose bush has buds all over it, and the mint is making a comeback as it always does. I always feel at home when I have fresh mint growing in my garden.

I awoke to a message on UrbanTowergarden that reminded me that I had nearly forgotten to share some of what’s growing here. I was more carried away with the photography than anything.
Ka, Do you share photos of the tower and fountain? It sounds lovely.
Hi Brad!
Yes, here: https://urbantowergarden.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/photo-updates-early-august-growth/ and here:
https://urbantowergarden.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/4-weeks-of-growth/ The bottom part is filled with 20 gallons of water and nutrients. A hose pumps the water from the bottom to the top and the water showers down over the roots, which grow through the center. The tower is aeroponic and hydroponic.
Have a wonderful week! 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Thanks Ka. It looks like a fun, simple and compact solution for gardening. I might try one too!
Deliciously detailed photos!
Haha! Thank you, JoAnna. I’ve been enjoying my camera time & eating well!
Wonderful to see what is growing in the tower Ka.. And nothing beats picking straight from plant to plate 🙂
🙂 Yes, Sue. ❤
Thank you for your visit and your kind comment.
Likewise in all of yours xx
For those interested in getting their own towergarden started: grow on!
Wonderful! I can just see you listening to the fountain now as you eat your breakfast.. 🙂
