Here’s a picture of Hunter proudly posing with his plantings right after they were in:
Here are a few pictures of their sad state just a few weeks later in mid-July:
With daily high temperatures ranging from 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit in the Phoenix summer, even cacti can’t take hold without help.
But there is a way to rise in Phoenix. Yes, the Tower Garden.
Because the Tower Garden can water in amounts supportive of the temperature environment it is in, plants can rise above the local challenges. African cacti can grow, albeit a strange use of the Tower Garden, actually practically anything.
The restaurant community in downtown Phoenix has embraced the Tower Garden.
During our stay, we dined one evening at Pizzeria Bianco in the Phoenix city center. Some of you may have heard of Pizzeria Bianco, run by award-winning restaurateur Chris Bianco, all organic, rated one of the best pizzerias in the world.
Pizzeria Bianco is a legendary eatery in the Phoenix community and by popular demand joined the Los Angeles restaurant scene just last month.

The study was observational so cannot prove cause and effect, though its large size and long duration add to growing evidence that what we eat can affect brain health.
