The strawberries have officially been transplanted! In their place I've planted lettuce on the right, and marigolds on the left

Are marigolds edible? What kind of lettuce? Don't you just love the unrealized potential of a new AG garden?  |

And I DO love the the potential of planting new gardens!! Imagining what they'll look up when they come up is always so fun!

Oh I love marigolds! We used to grow them in elementary school in little pots on the classroom windowsill.  |

Oh I love marigolds! We used to grow them in elementary school in little pots on the classroom windowsill.  They're very nearly my favorite flower!! I've always thought the blooms were very cute. I only wish I could grow my actual faves in AG, but sunflowers are too big!! Especially the Maximilians, I love them dearly but they're big-time spreaders that I don't think would even do well in a pot, much less AG. Though I admittedly have never tested that theory!

I also love marigolds. I used to grow them in my deck planters in Georgia and interspersed in my veggie gardens when I did square foot gardening.
areyoukittenme, the mental picture of marigolds growing in windowsills in a classroom is sweet. |

Almost everything is up! One of the marigold pods never sprouted, so tried to move one of the sprouts from another pod over. It's rather limp lol, not sure that was a successful move.

The marigolds have gotten super thick and pretty!! Can't wait for them to start flowering!!
And the lettuce is coming along really nice too! Going to harvest these MUCH sooner than I did the ones in the other machine, to avoid the mold issue happening again. It had also started to bolt, so I clearly waited way to long to harvest the other batch - it hadn't flowered yet, so I thought it'd be fine if I just tossed out the stems that had started to grow up, but some of it was still quite bitter. So going to pay much closer attention to my lettuce for now on!

That lettuce is making me drool. The marigolds are really fulling out nicely.

Harvested and ate the lettuce. Even keeping a close eye on it and harvesting earlier, it was starting to go black in the middle again. Planted Tatsoi in its place!!
Have several buds in the marigolds!!

Wow! I have never noticed the delicate scrollwork in the flowers before. Your photo captured it beautifully!  |

The marigold is lovely. I love the way the tiny leaves curl and unfurl
