What a beautiful deep purple

All I got was white and purple. And a really strong scent too. Kind of woodsy, kind of like wood. Maybe it is just me, but I was not enjoying it, so I ended them.I plan to start some microgreens in the Harvest soon. Then, I'll start thinking about starting some herb gardens too. And maybe some greens. But we need to decide if we'll be taking a trip to the beach yet this year or not. I still have little energy, so I won't be of much help! Sure would be nice to have fresh herbs just steps from the kitchen again!

Hopefully you'll be back up to speed soon, campingcorgis! Microgreens should be fun--I need to start some again, too.

Having herbs at your fingertips is wonderful. Cant wait to see your microgreens and more of you soon

A flower appeared a few days back. I thought it would be yellow...but, clearly it is not. I would have posted sooner, but I've been too sick. Going back to bed soon.

Lovely petunia! I always get quite a few white petunias when I plant the AG pods. So sorry to hear that you're sick! Get well soon!

Actions taken

EquipmentReset the Harvest clock after the light schedule was disrupted by an outlet repair.

C By campingcorgis

Yesterday, DH replaced one of the kitchen outlets that has been being difficult. This morning, the Harvest light was not on! I had to reset the clock. Fortunately, that is easy enough! Even without coffee. Looking forward to flowers soon!
