It's rampant! Wild! A glorious living wonder!

Today, I found my first squash blossom, a buttery yellow bloom shooting off from a just-planted seedling.

My Tower Garden is in its glory! The squash blossom was just the start.

Chives have spurted a good inch overnight. The razor edge fancy lettuce is keeping apace. And there are tomatoes. Lots of tomatoes! Little cherry tomatoes like gems. The bigger beefsteaks nestled among cucumber leaves. I love how the Tower Garden can become a tangled mess, and that is to say I have the choice of pruning and snipping or allowing the growth to run its natural course. I pick plan B.

The cucumbers, the first bloomers, are snarled and slightly battered from the rain and Tropical Storm Beryl, and their leaves are a map of snail trails. But they continue to bloom! I am amazed.

I am in love with my Tower Garden.

Now, as harvest time nears, I must begin seeding for the next cycle. This is all so exciting.

HERE'S A VIEW OF MY TOWER GARDEN THIS MORNING.

The Tower Garden fits in a small square of my patio, and contains a variety of growing vegetables including two varieties of tomato, three varieties of lettuce, basil, kale and cucumbers.

Beautiful Bibb lettuce.

I love how the cukes and tomatoes share space.

Yes, we love our greens!
Surprised the bunnies this morning as they were nestled together in their "hiding place" with fresh cuttings from the Tower Garden. They woke, ate and then went back to their nestling and nap.
