BLOG DAY # 81. GROWING HEALTHY IN THE BACK YARD!

     Last night- Sherry opened up the door to the small back patio-stepped outside-and cut some lettuce and kale off for salads for supper. It took all of three minutes. Didn't have to go to the store-fight traffic-find parking- just one step shopping!

AND SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ALMOST FIVE WEEKS!  WE NOW HAVE SOME STRAWBERRIES READY. BELOW IS A PICTURE TAKEN ONE WEEK AGO OF OUR CUKES. THE TOMATO PLANTS ARE NOW TWO FEET HIGH. SPINACH-LETTUCE-KALE WE HAVE BEEN EATING FOR ALMOST FIVE WEEKS.




They now are twice that size. And the best thing is that we know exactly what we have and no pesticides have been added. Just WATER-AIR- & NATURAL NUTRIENTS! We do not have to worry about what we are putting into our bodies.



IT IS REALLY EASY TO DO- I CHECK THE WATER LEVEL ONCE A WEEK- ADD WATER & NUTRIENTS- CHECK PH- ADD IF NEEDED- THEN WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK TO DO THE SAME!




HERE IS KRISTEN'S - STARTED IN EARLY APRIL- SHE LIVES IN WESTERN NC.
THIS HAS GONE THRU A FROST- AND YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING SHE IS GROWING. I WOULD SAY THIS IS LESS THAN SIX WEEKS OLD!





THIS ONE BELONGS TO KRISTIE JONES IN COCOA BEACH FLA. THIS IS MAYBE SIX WEEKS OR LESS OLD.



  THE FUTURE IS HERE!


The Tower Garden represents a way to garden even in the smallest spaces. Two and one half feet across- five feet tall- twenty different plants! Imagine a large round garbage can. That is the space it takes up. It is affordable. $499.00- plus shipping. $100.00 down includes first payment & shipping. Then 11 monthly payments! Everything you need is included.




The Tower Garden is brought to you by JUICE PLUS. It is one more step in healthy eating and healthy living. It allows every one to be a gardener without weeding, not a whole lot of space- and it makes a healthy way of knowing exactly what you are growing and eating!


You actually can get your children - grandchildren involved in healthy growing & gardening.





When I say it is easy to do- this is a picture of just how easy it is. I check it once a week to add water & nutrients- I check it once a week after I add water for the PH. That is it. When I say I sit down and read- sip wine or drink a beer- that is the truth.





THIS WAS TAKEN ONE MONTH AGO- EXACTLY ONE MONTH FROM PLANTING!

TODAY IT GOES WAY OUT BEYOND THE WHITE FRAME. AND WE HAVE BEEN CUTTING IT BACK FOR 5 1/2 WEEKS.

WE STARTED OUR SECOND SET OF LETTUCE SEEDLINGS AND IN TWO WEEKS WILL TRANSPLANT THEM INTO THE TOWER GARDEN.


     I hope this gives you insight into fresh gardening- we use no pesticides- we believe in GREEN- and this is our way of  taking that step- for we have no space or time to put in a garden.

    This gives us fresh fruits(strawberries) and veggies every day. I do not have a green thumb- I hate to weed- I do not have to till the soil nor do I have to water. The Tower Garden uses only 10 % of a normal garden in water! So that is it in a nutshell.
