I love flowers – planting and feeding them the water for life.
But – I also love making friendships – greeting people with a smile and a hello.
Life is too short – and we are now in the sunset of our own lives.
Our life is a mixture of planting gardens in others’ lives.
Being friends – walking – laughing – sharing thoughts.
The beauty of those plantings is it last and last through time.

Then the Pandemic hit and it never came back into the discussion again.
But – I really liked it here and if we came to Florida – this would be my first choice!

It has been just a little over one month –
since we replanted the Geraniums-
that are now 4 or 5 years old !
For the first time – we have planted Potato’s !
We also have for the second year –
a flower called –
THE EVENING PRIMROSE !
What is unique about that –
is it ONLY BLOOMS AT NIGHT !
The Tower Gardens are now in production for almost 5 weeks.
We have been eating lettuce since the end of week two.
It will not be long as we have flowers for Tomato’s – Squash and Cucumbers
And Egg plant – herbs – other greens.
We have a total of 8 Potato plants –
this is the first time we have ever planted them !
We never had Green Thumbs
until we bought our first Tower Garden eight years ago !
And – really – it is so easy –
just make sure it has WATER & NUTRIENTS!
Now – I have learned – these are her babies –
she is known as the –
TOWER GARDEN QUEEN !
She has quite the following !
And – you can tell by the results –
I in turn – make sure they have WATER –
They have NUTRIENTS and the vines have a place to climb !
Our Geraniums – I pull up in the Fall –
shake the dirt off –
Stick them right side up in a five gallon pail –
and hang them from ceiling in our unheated garage !
In the Spring – we pull them out –
clean the dead leaves off –
And pot them – water them and just watch them come back.
I am in charge of the lawn outside – that is my time to just relax –
I rather like mowing – making it look nice and neat !
We had a irrigation system put in two years ago –
and finally – this year –
It has recovered and grown in nice and green !
I have a lawn service and have lime spread in the Fall.
All in all – growing vegetables – seeing the colors of our flowers –
Is a form of stress relief for me.
If you have any questions on the growing system
or bringing back the Geraniums from year to year –
Feel free to ask.
I hope you enjoyed my little blog –

Seven years ago – we were introduced to ” GROWING ” our own FRESH produce.
Neither one of us ( Sherry) my wife – were gardeners – and the thought of weeding was completely out of my vocabulary !
Then we ordered our first ” TOWER ” Garden –
A aeroponic garden system – using Air – Water and Minerals.
We grow some of our seedlings – others we order and have them shipped to us.
Healthy eating – knowing we use no pesticides – and fresh produce –
allows us to eat healthy all year round !
( We also grow in our garage using grow lights during Winter. )
The system is really quite simple – a tank in the bottom – holds 20 gallons of water.
A pump – is attached to the center of the Tower by a hose –
and pumps water straight up to the top and then drips down through holes in the center of the Tower.
The water also contains minerals from the Earth. Patented – and in liquid form.
Which are supplied when you order for one season. Everything you need is supplied – for your original garden season – this system we have is seven years old and looks as good today as when we bought it !
There is a timer for the pump – 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. The whole process boils down to making sure you have water – and once a week add some tonic – or in the heat of Summer – every other week.
The fresh produce grows at a very fast rate – in four weeks time we are eating lettuce – Kale – leafy greens . Cuke’s and tomato’s & peppers take longer – but much shorter than a normal garden plot. You can grow most anything that does not require a tree. Mellon’s – Strawberries – squash – egg plant – herbs etc.
Simple – fast – and best of all ” I DO NOT HAVE TO WEED ” ! I HATE TO WEED !
Since we were some of the first in the Country as a test – we decided to purchase two more ! We have one set up for Winter in our garage and two outside as you see here – the produce is only a couple weeks old – the smaller ones about a week !
We also are distributor’s for what is called the Tower Garden – and have placed them in schools as part of a curriculum established by the Juice Plus Company – to teach children how to grow their own fresh produce all across the Country – presently 5,500 Towers are teaching the process nationwide. We are responsible for about 70 – our team is very active.
Promoting health – one green at a time – and some reds!!!! LOL

Have a great day – eat healthy.
