I also love tatsoi, although I have only grown it outside. And I have some supermarket green onions regrowing in a pot. The gift that keeps on giving! If ever I have Aerogarden space, I think it would be even more fun to grow them there. At least I wouldn't forget to water them.
P
Lol! That is the beauty of Aerogarden!

TransplantMoved the broccoli rabe plants to the first Bounty.
PruningTrimmed the broccoli rabe after moving it.
Broccoli Rabe moved to the first bounty because they were misbehaving. Gave them a trimming and got them settled in. Thing 1, Thing 2 and Thing need supervision.

SPOTLIGHT:Broccoli Raab (Spring)Burpee seeds - 3 podsAG spongesBounty (Knee Baby)I L - O - V - E eating Broccoli Raab (have you caught on that I showcase the ingredients to my favorite dishes )I am naming this bunch of veggies "the gang". I will likely move the gang to another bounty if (... when?) I somehow end up with another bounty . . . If not, I will move them into something else if necessary.Today, the gang is 9 days old:Enjoying watching my gang grow each day!
