Hello everyone! We have received our second garden tower!! It came in three parts, as pictured below, and will likely be assembled at one of our Challenge residences as there is not enough room for it here. How sad to see it leave but how exciting to know it will be helpful in another building! We will likely keep it in the boxes until we know where it's going and send it along with a full bag of soil. We are very appreciative of the City of Whitehorse, through the Environmental Grant, for funding the second garden tower! We could not have purchased the second one without their support. On Friday we received our garlic order - oodles of hard and soft neck garlic to be grown in our first tower. It has been stored somewhere dark and cool for the time being. On Monday our gals planted four cloves of each type of garlic, root down, in our tower. They have been labelled on the tower so we can water and care for them appropriately. We will be scattering the rest of our plants, throughout the tower, as well to ensure best growing for all of them. The girls did some research on how to properly grow garlic, and will likely do the same for the rest of the seeds, in a tower. Today we received our first full seed order! We got our fun stuff like cilantro and beets from West Coast Seeds. How amazingly quick they are! Tomorrow we will start planting!
