I am impressed with your oregano. Is it a lot stronger than the dried bottled varieties from the store
S
It is stronger. I like it better then the dried. I will use it fresh however I also freeze it. When I need some I will take it from the container and with my hands crush it into the meal. It works great. I do not mind it if crumbles in the container either as it is in a jar anyway.
S
The oregano is going nuts... I have trimmed it three times already and it is ready for another. I may end one of the two. I will then plant more Cilantro. My freezer stash need to be replenished but I also like it fresh as well. So more is good. I also want to look into what other herbs I have never grown but would use. However I have no clue.
S
I would like go grow oregano and some different herbs, too. I think I would like the leafy cutting celery instead of the celery stalks, as I love to add celery leaves to soups, salads, and stews. In fact I think I will go herb seed shopping online today! Looking forward to seeing what you decide.
S
Trimmed all plants and fed nutes today
S
I think I will harvest all of the one Oregano plant this weekend. Move some pods around and plant some new herbs. I just need to see what more I want to plant in here.
S
I get bored when all my gardens stay the same all the time. Have fun moving your herbs!

Moving them and/or starting new

TransplantMoved all herbs into one side of a newly installed Farm 24 Basic.
All my herbs have a new home. I received an early Christmas Gift yesterday. I had no clue about it. I almost returned it but Mark had it all put together and installed when I came home from a few appointments I had today. So now all my herbs are in one side of a Farm 24 Basic. It is stacked on the Farm XL. I have so much counter space in my kitchen now.

Now that is a REAL herb garden! Who needs dirt?

It is nice to be able to give your plants some elbow room. They seem so much happier that way.

Thanks Sher and fldaveI kinda miss the Harvest on my Counter in the kitchen but they are not far away and easily accessible still. But I am enjoying the extra space I have in the kitchen. I moved things around and it looks and is much larger and more space. I still have my Harvest on my desk. I will be planting flowers in my 360 in the spare room and Mark will have one in his office with whatever he wants to grow. In the Spring I will still use my Bounty as well. I have several Bounty's and Harvests in my garage. Some I know I wont use die to space. Maybe I will sell a few. One is spoken for already. In the meantime, I am ordering lettuce seeds to plant in the left side of the Basic.
S
I love your Farms! But I do still love and prefer my array of Bountys and Harvests. I especially love the way I can arrange the Harvests on shelves to make ever changing displays. Put me down for a couple more of your used machines, depending on my budget, of course!

10ml nutes added

They are sharing space with some peppers. They are also not as yellow as they look in this shot.

So much gardening space! Are the holes farther apart than on the Bounty?
S
I should measure.
