Machine: Harvest Elite 360 Sponges: Park's Seeds: Two per pod Nutes: None to start Vendor: See Chart Below Varieties: Basils, Oreganos and Cilantros More when something happens. Side Note: Depending on growth some may move to another machine but should be ok since cilantro is slower to germinate.

Looked inside all pods this morning. There is something going on in the Genovese pod but what really surprised me is that the Calypso Cilantro has a tiny root starting. That is the fastest I ever saw one start to germinate. Now let's hope it continues.

That is fast for cilantro! Hope it thrives.

Now BOTH Basils have green inside and should be up above the pod tomorrow or the next day. The Calypso is still very tiny but looks like it will grow. Also the Burpee Oregano has green sprouts. Not bad for three days.

All are coming up except the one Cilantro. I know why .. the seed fell out. I will be adding another.

Well my Cilantro did not make it. I looked closer and my other herbs should be further along as well. Then I saw it. I had forgotten to plug the pump in . All is good now. I replanted the cilantro seeds, plugged it in and gave 5ml nutes.

Due to my own negligence, I may have to restart some of these if not all. Because I went so long without the pump the water was stale. I am giving it another week until I decide. If I see growth then I will leave otherwise I will begin again.

I did that once after an R&R. Forgot to plug the pump in.
I'm relieved that I am not the only one!

I have not updated this one in a while. My basils are doing wonderful, the oregano is coming in nicely and I have a Chives here (although I did not add enough seeds). Now that it is getting colder I MIGHT get a small pot to put some mix in it to grow some next to the unit. I am not a fan of dirt or plants in the home because of bugs.

Looks good. I have never grown oregano. After seeing your picture, I will plan on a future project.

The shape of the plants together looks very artistic.
I love the trailing habit of the Greek oregano.
