Here is a lovely recipe for Watermelon Salad. It’s a lot of fun to grow some sugar baby watermelon in a tower garden. If it’s placed on a deck or balcony, the lovely vines will trail along the ground. Some folks like to place a trellis of some sort nearby for support for the vines.
All of the italicized ingredients can be grown on a Tower Garden®.
Watermelon getting close to ready to pick.
Assemble:
2 cups of chopped watermelon (red or yellow)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
Juice of a lime or lemon with some zest
Half a Serrano chili peppers seeded and finely chopped (use a quarter of the chili for less heat)
Serrano chili adds a little heat.
Chopped fresh mint (optional)
Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
½ teaspoon of chat masala (Indian spice)
Kale and cilantro.
Pinch of sugar (optional).
Toss all ingredients in a bowl and serve chilled.
A pump in the reservoir pushes the nutrient solution to the top of the tower. The nutrient solution evenly cascades over the exposed plant roots.
Aside from checking water levels and cleaning the pump filter, Tower Garden® will take care of itself. And in just a few short weeks, you’ll be enjoying abundant homegrown produce, harvested at its peak (so you can be at yours).
