Strawberry Tower

My Strawberry plants are starting to blossom.

The Strawberry plants in this tower are doing fine and I'm starting to see flowers. I propagated all the plants in this tower from one plant.

Tower

Starting to see Mesclun sprout and one little Beets in the center.

I can see some Italian Parsley sprouting and again one little Beet.

 

Vegetable Tower

(9/29) I have a second tower I used to grow Strawberries, but am now using it for seasonal vegetables. The top tier has a Pineapple plant, so cannot do much with that space since it is so large, but the bottom two tiers I can plant a lot. I planted these items about a week ago (Beets and Sunny Lettuce).

More Beets and Mesclun

Green Pepper and Italian Parsley

Strawberry (Ichigo)

 

(9/29) I placed my Strawberry (Ichigo) tower in the shade during the summer and most made it through. Now they are starting to produce runners. The runners are short and I do not want them growing in the same tier; instead, I want to move them to a location with no or few plants.

So, I filled up a little ziplock bad with soil and placed the runner in it. Once it has a stonge enough root system, I will cut it off the mother and replant it.

Tower (Update)

everything in the tower is growing well and I added one more tier, making a total of seven tiers. I planted Red Leaf Lettuce in the new tier. Below is what I have:

• First Tier - Basil
• Second Tier - Green Peppers 
• Third Tier - Tomato
• Fourth Tier - Lettuce
• Fifth Tier - Tomato
• Sixth Tier - Lettuce
• Seventh Tier - Pineapple and Garlic

Tower

Well, I made this tower to grow strawberries, but the strawberries did not do well due to the heat and wind, so I'm re-purposing the tower to grow other stuff. Here is what I'm going to try on each tier:

• First Tier - Bottom (Basil)
• Second Tier (Lettuce) - Just planted the seed
• Third Tier (Celery and Tomatoes)
• Fourth Tier (Green Peppers)
• Fifth Tier (Strawberries)
