It was wonderful over the winter to have fresh lettuce for a salad. \u201cWell; how does it work? I don\u2019t see any dirt.\u201d There isn\u2019t any. The barrel at the bottom holds water that we add nutrients to. Jodie keeps track of what it needs and currently has some seeds started at home. There is a pump that runs water through the system for 15 minutes every hour. It has a good amount of light where we have placed it. Some of the veggies grow back after we cut them and some need to have new seeds planted.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nI showed Ruth where some books about gardening are located in the library and she claims she is going to get to work on her own garden when she returns to Iowa.\r\n\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7982\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gralib.sals.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Garden-book-1024x768.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The continuing saga of the Dahl family at the Pember Ruth disappeared for a while and I finally found her out near our tower garden.
