*The days were calculated automatically and approximately.
Yay for the progress!
Nothing on the Parsley. I will replant if still nothing this time next week (if not before).
Looked in each pod and they are deader then a door nail.. so I will place two new pods with more seeds.
Awww. What a disappointment. Sorry.
One of the two cilantro was pilled. It was browning. I think I let too may stay in the pod. I should have snipped one. I will be planting more Cilantro and Parsley (which I never did do).
I ended this project. I was able to harvest a gallon ziploc baggie of Cilantro. So now I have two gallons+ of cilantro in hand and a sandwich baggie full of chopped chives. It has been cleaned for a new project.
Update #2
Yay! More babies!
I am thrilled my Cilantro germinated. And it was fast too!
Looks great! I see this is one of the newer models of Bounty? How are you liking it? I have been tempted to buy the Bounty Basic...but I keep thinking do I REALLY need it?! I really wanted to buy them when they were $175 ish, but was travelling during that time and would not have wanted it sitting outside my door for weeks...
I like the new models.

I love how you show your diagrams. I am finishing the lettuce in my Bounty and will replace it with herbs later this week. I bought a 7 pod kit and may not plant the mint so it doesn't get too crowded.
Thanks. I have some blank templates I can share if you tell me the machine you have.
I have the old 40 watt Bounty.
I think the old Bountys are 45W. I know the Harvests are 20W and there was one that was 25W. The Extra and Ultra were 35W. The NEW Bounty's are as follows: Bounty Basic: 30W Bounty: 40W Bounty Elite: 50W
Sorry. Yes, mine is 45 watt. It has 5 holes in the back and four in the front.
