I really dislike those gnats. I have had to dump a project because of them. They need to stay outside where they were meant to be.
What are the gnats attracted to?
a wet place to lay eggs
Oh great ... hubby’s gonna Looooooove that. ... Any way to keep them in check with all the AeroGardens around?
I make a gnat juice (look here)
Thanx Shawn!
But look at all those wonderful herbs
It almost seems to me that the phrases "growth spurt" and "basil" are synonymous.
I love little herb jungles. So much fun to play and pick from
Very nice. I love when you can start to pick at them.
Love parsley. Love cilantro.If that 24-site Aerogarden Farm I preordered actually shows up this November, I'm thinking seriously of doing its first run with Cilantro and Parsley. Wouldn't that be fabulous?
They are coming along nicely. You will figure out what you planted. Maybe not today or tomorrow but eventually f45654
All parsley and cilantro definitely would be fabulous! But what is this 24-site AG of which you speak??
Yup, hah. They can only be 1 or 2 of about 4 herbs I ever plant.
You may have missed it when you were offline while having issues with your photo posting. It's due out in November, it's called the Aerogarden Farm, and it's overpriced.Aerogarden Farm
I thought about that UNTIL I saw the price. So they are a huge for me
Well, when you compare it to the price of a pair of Bountys...Nah. Still overpriced. At least they look like they can stack.
Still, I can totally see being sucked in. Because AG and 24?? Yeah I like it. I also think I missed it because I have been aggressively deleting their emails without reading for months. Too dangerous!
They have more pods, but the heights are the same.
Well that's a little silly as a new offering - I do think they need to come up with a taller machine somehow. For those of us who simply can't come up with mods for whatever reason.
Yes, that's really the down-side to me. They really need to give us some taller than 2' options, and frankly, unless you're just doing herbs, I doubt that you'd ever make use of all 24 sites. In fact, I'm thinking more on the order of 4-6 active sites. And, as I've said before, I'd much rather the sites accept standard 2 or 3" net pots, but now I'm just whining.
It feels good to start fresh projects doesn't it? I was supposed to start this past weekend but did not. I REALLY need to.
Yes it does! I should've started them earlier, but hey, at least it's done now. I did this and another when I got home late at around 8:00 which is usually my useless hour, unless I'm cooking, so I am rather proud of myself that I did it.
WTG! Two more started!
