Yes! It's time to show you the harvest from the Tower Garden. This lettuce and zucchini comes from our Tower Garden today, June 29.

From this picture you can see how much these plants have grown in the last 10 days. Our mouths are watering for the tomatoes that will be here in a month or so.

The summer solstice has come and gone. This means that the days will be getting shorter again until the winter solstice in December. How does your organic garden grow? Don't have one? Do you have a deck or patio?  You can grow your own local, sustainable, fresh produce right on your own deck or patio. No eight days raw to make sure it arrives at your store before it rots. Here's a short video to give you the flavor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M5S2OlZcqA  And of course you can get the full story at:

"The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by . . ."
I think of these words tonight when I see the byproduct of all this rain that "we need". 

Happy Monday! How was Father's Day wherever you are?

This morning we had a surprise. Those tomato plants and pepper plants that my wife set out on Friday were sampled by the deer. We had some repellent spray, but the abundant rain on Sunday must have washed it away.

It is blossom time for the Tower Gardens, however.

Deer are not going to chew on these Tower Garden plants at night!  For more information: http://melvins.towergarden.com

They've been telling us that good, gold standard scientific research could not be done on children because it is unethical to just give a placebo for children who have a problem. Not true! See for yourself:
