No problem, but try turning the lights off then taking the picture with the flash.

Things are going on apparently nice:  Basil is growing fast and bushy, the Bonsai Tomato is making two true leaves:  Another tomato sprout was born and I gently pulled it out of the pod andò transferred to an empty one in Bounty (the one who was supposed to host a dwarf pepper Red Skin, but seeds never arrived) |

I think it's time for pruning a little bit:  My Bonsai Tomato isn't looking much happy...maybe it is overwhelmed by the Salsola komarowii:  Kratky kale and kratky broccoli rabe are ready to be harvested:  So, here's my first Aerogarden salad: Salsola komarowii, kale, broccoli rabe with green tomatoes and olive oil  |

Yes...and you and the other forumists can understand very well why I'm so happy!!!
I hope the tomato seedling will recover a bit, after the Salsola pruning...his leaves are curled up and a bit mottled. I don't know if it could be a lack of air movement due to the Salsola or a magnesium deficiency...Let's see what happens...

After the pruning of Salsola komarowii and a bit of spinning round, the Bonsai Dwarf Tomato is taking off:   Lettuce is thriving in the Bounty machine, and the Red Skin Bell Peppers are sprouting, but not yet detecteble from the lid hole:  |

Product Description
This is a dwarf red pepper, so it'll stay nice and compact through the season. It's perfect if you'd like to branch out a little in your container gardening. The foliage is fragrant and the peppers are sweet and tasty, a fun way to get children interested in the garden. In a patio pot, they'll be easy to pick and add into a fresh-grown snack. They're also beautiful—a creative way to fill out the front of a border.

Today I harvested my Salsola soda. It had become really huge and was disturbig the Bonsai tomato.  Boiled it and dressed with olive oil, salt and a few drops lemon. Also trimmed a ton of Basil (and used to make a good tomato sauce with garlic). Now the Bonsai tomato has gained more room to grow:  |
