Week 4: Garden is exploding with growth!

Picture below speaks for itself...unbelievable, isn't it?  I've never seen a garden grow this fast.  Continue to pick and eat fresh lettuce right off the Tower, and it continues to produce.  Here's a brief timeline so far:
          April 15, 2013    Ordered the Tower Garden Growing System
          April 22, 2013    Tower Garder delivered to my home
          April 25, 2013    Seeds planted in growing tray
          May 2, 2013       Seedlings starting to sprout
          May 13, 2013     Seedlings moved to Tower and Growing System started
          June 4, 2013       First lettuce picked from Tower Garden- delicious!

Week 3: Watching my garden grow!

Well it's been about 2 weeks since my last update and my garden has exploded with growth.  My wife and I have enjoyed some lettuce from the garden already (just couldn't resist!) and we will attest that it is some of the best we've ever had.  It starts with an initial crispiness then melts in the mouth with a sweet flavor- nothing like the tasteless or bitter and chlorinated stuff you'll find at the supermarket.  The squash plants and cucumber are going crazy and there looks to be the start of flowering on these plants.  The tomatoes are finally taking off with basil being the slow grower, however there are a few usable leaves already.  I'm now monitoring the pH about twice a week and added a little water to the tub a couple days ago.  I continue 15mins on and 15mins off with the timer setting and there has been no increase in electricity usage- actually a reduction in electricity usage vs last year according to my recent meter reading!  Here's a photo taken today:
