Habanera English Daisy is a compact growing, 6 in. tall biennial or perennial flower which thrives in cooler weather. It is grown in a similar manner as pansies. Plants produce huge quantities of large 2 in. wide, quilled double flowers from early spring to early summer. Bloom colors include red, rose, white with red tips, and white. Plants will often self-sow. Habanera English daisy is an outstanding performer in containers. Also grows nicely at the front of borders or with spring bulbs. Plants prefer regular moisture. In warm climates provide afternoon shade. Perennial in cooler areas, biennial where summers are warm. Winter hardy to zone 3.
Machine: Harvest Elite (2019)
Vendor: Swallowtail
Seeds: 3 per pod Sponge: Park Nutes: 4ml to begin

These are slow growers but are growing. I need to get a snapshot of these although will wait another week and hope they have a growth spurt after being fed today.

Slow growing but growing. In three days it will get a D&R and feeding as well as cleaning the deck.

Today this garden received a dump, complete clean out and a refill. I also took the deck apart to clean any algae out. I rearranged the pods as well. But even doing so you can see how they grew from only a few days ago. I fed them 4ml nutes. I am unsure if I should go higher or not.  |

These have even MORE greenery but no bus anywhere. So I wrote to the vendor and they said these bloom in the Spring and Early Summer and again in early Fall. When I said they were growing indoors she told me they may not bloom until Spring  .
Well that is not making me happy. SOOOOO I think I may just ditch this project and grow something that I know will grow .. like the Snaptinis that @cornne is growing or the @thumbelinas that @cornne grew or maybe even the Button Box that @cornne grows.
So @cornne, which of the above would you suggest for the Harvest?

If it were my project, I would keep it going just to see!....or next time try to fool the seeds as to the season by tossing thm in the freezer for a few weeks to make them thing they experienced the winter.
But, a sure to bloom project is the Snaptinis! Button Box and Thumbelinas are Zinnias and I had a hard time with them both hitting the hood and having to chop them all off to fit in the Classic Hood. They need a Tall Hood. I find that very strange because one of my favorite Zinnias is the Swizzle Zinnia from Park which is a very 'meaty' looking plant and it fit perfectly in the old Classics for many projects in the old machines. That is also one to consider for the average hood. But a sure fire project is the Snaptini!

Great idea on placing them in the freezer. I will have to remember that. I will take your suggestion and leave them a few more weeks. I wonder if I should place a pan near them or maybe place a block around to keep them from getting the change in temp from day t night? Thoughts?
But once this does end I will grow the Snaptinis! I do have seeds  Then after the GAL I will plant your button box and Thumbellinas in the Ultra. |

These sure would be pretty if they formed buds. I contacted the vendor and they told me they will only bloom in the Spring and maybe again in the fall. They will not bloom now. This did have nice lush greenery but no bids in site at all.
I will end this one to begin a new flower project.
