The grow tower is a go!

Going green

This is the second season with our wonderful grow tower. 2013 was experimental, to say the least.

I hope the gargantuan cucumbers that came late in the season and strangled everything weren't some sort of mutation caused by all the construction dust, but they were tasty regardless.

Yeah, I killed a bunch of shit. But remember, you're dealing with the guy who lost five giant tomato plants when Chicago wind storms caused them to plummet four stories and explode all over the alley.

So let's look forward to 2014, shall we?

Because it's going to be a banner season for the grow tower, as we're already up and running by March 19th! Not only that, but it's on casters now, so we can adjust to the sun or move it into the basement during inclement weather.

That's right, inclement.

This year we've got kale, red lettuce, spinach, cilantro, mint, and whatever else my wife says is in there. I'll update you tomorrow, I promise.

Meanwhile...
