The gardens are doing well!! Yesterday I watered and fed everything I wasn't going to replace. Today after I get some sleep will pull some gardens out and replant!! Going to have a nice salad later Tomato plants all still look good Both seeds of the dwarf awesome sprouted!! Will let them get a tad bigger then try to transplant one  The strawberries are still very thick and pretty, but I've decided to go ahead and move them to soil in order to plant other things: The habanero apparently sensed its danger and EXPLODED Pot-a-penos had some ready to pick this time!! The candy cane plant has some peppers that are very very close And the herbs are doing great!! |

Took out the strawberries, which were drying out and starting to die. The habanero also died suddenly. The rest of the gardens are doing well!!!
Plenty of jalapenos to pick
The candy cane pepper has been producing well, and are very tasty!!
The mini red bell pepper is up!
Fresh Bites Orange pepper planted
The tomatoes are largely healthy!! The red velvets I planted in the pink harvest are coming to an end. I don't remember when exactly I planted those, but they've been there a good long time, and have given me lots of tomatoes!!
The red robin is still big and healthy!! And the tomatoes are getting tastier the older the plant gets.
The dwarf awesome is growing nicely!!
The other red velvet is still doing great
And planted a second machine with dwarf awesome
Planted Dragon's Blood Sedum in in the Farm 24 that the strawberries were in. I've never grown a succulent of any kind from seed, I hope they do well!!
All the herbs are doing great!!
Oregano
Sage and rosemary. It's still small, but the rosemary is up too!!
Parsley and lemon balm
Basil!!!
New cucumber planting

The gardens are still mostly doing well!!
The sedum pods are all up, though still very small
But all of them have tons of teeny sprouts!!
The large dwarf awesome is getting taller, though the bottom leaves are getting a little dried and withered. Trimmed those.
Sage is doing good, rosemary is up enough that I took off the dome.
Cucumber is up!!
Red Robin tomato still going strong, basil is in bad need of trimming. Will do that tonight probably.
Oregano also needs a trimming tonight. The bottom red velevet is doing great, will end the top right ones that have finally croaked tonight and re-plant with more red velvets. Both of the pot-a-penos are doing well!!
The mini red bell looks great so far!
The candy cane pepper still doing great, very bushy!!
Second dwarf awesome is up!
Lemon balm looking great as always, parsley seems a bit sickly.
And lastly, the fresh bites pepper is up!!

How big will the mini bell peppers get, maskedsonnet? All of your plants look great, even the parsley! Is that curly parsley? It looks like it may be in a draft. I hate it when leaves dry out for no obvious reason.  |

I hate it when leaves dry out for no obvious reason. The plants are supposed to get 24-30 inches tall and the peppers 1-1.5 inch in diameter! Really mini, sounds like a nice little bite! I dont actually remember what type of parsley I bought!! I think it’s curley, I’ll have to look when I get home. |

Been a while since my last update!! It's been busy as always around here.
Tomatoes!! The sprout is still doing great
The second Dwarf Awesome looks GREAT.
The first Dwarf Awesome looks Terrible. I think it's time to admit that the first seed was a dud. It's spindly and has dropped most of its leaves. Might be time to just take it out and plant another one in its place!!
The Harvest Red Velvet plant is also doing great!
The ones in the Harvest slim finally died out. They had a good, long, productive run!! Haven't decided if I'm going to plant more or something else in there yet.
Peppers!!!
The pot-a-penos are still doing well and producing lots!!
The candy cane pepper is still big and bushy and producing well too!!
The red mini bell is growing well so far!
The fresh bites is also growing well!
Herbs!!
The rosemary and sage are both doing alright
The oregano is doing great!
The lemon balm is doing alright, parsley is starting to wilt and never got that big
The cucumber's doing great!!
And the sedum is doing great!!!!

Absolutely blown away by your garden room! Wonderful!
I guess that means it's time to make mine into a garden room instead of miscellaneous, piled to the ceiling, storage!

Garden room is *always* a good idea!! Relaxing, fun, and always amusing to see the surprised and confused expression on workers' faces when I have to lead them in there for something  |

Yea, I had the piano tuner over yesterday. I tipped him half a dozen freshly picked peppers!  |

My garden "room" turned into Garden room A and Garden room B...
Soon, I'm afraid, I'll be referring to my addiction as the "Garden House"

I tipped him half a dozen freshly picked peppers! In February, the rehab facility brought me home briefly to find a document. When we went into my office/ garden room, the first comment was, "Is this real?" I had a plant full of bright red Pot-a-Penos right by the doorway!  |

Always love your updates, maskedsonnet!  I'm envious of your healthy Dwarf Awesome! How many days has it been planted? They take about 80 days to harvest. So far only one of my five tomatoes has actually even started to ripen, at 85 days. Agreed that it's time to give up on the other DA. Does it have different environmental conditions than the healthy one?  |

I would turn mine into a garden house if Flower didn't insist on putting everything in her mouth!! Although when I'm in the room working on the plants she mostly stays away from them now, and when she starts sniffing at one comes away willingly enough when I tell her no. But also when I first brought her home she dug up one of my potted plants that I had on a table, don't want a repeat of that!! All the plants outside of that room are either hanging or on high shelves now!! |

Does it have different environmental conditions than the healthy one? It's at 42 days, I'm half way to harvest sounds like! Not really on the different conditions - the air vent in that room is closer to the unhealthy plant, but last time I checked the air flow because I was worried about drafts, it doesn't hit the machine at all.  |

Hello fellow AG'ers!! Been a while, between vacation and flipping to the night shift!!
The cucumber has gotten huge and given me 2 cukes so far, with many more on the way!!
The sedum looks AMAZING!!
The sage is doing great!
Lemon balm is healthy, but has stayed weirdly short. I've never seen it grow so tight to the "ground" like this!!
The oregano needs a trim. I've got that next up on my to-do list!!
I've started rosemary in the Harvest that used to hold the red velvets!
I've finally got a habanero plant that set peppers!!! I'm looking forward to the ripening up!
The 2 pot-a-peno plants continue to provide plentiful jalapenos!!
The fresh bites has lots of flowers buried under those wonderful green leaves!!
The candy cane gave me LOTS of peppers, and still has some ripening up on it. I've given it a harsh trimming, because the mass of leaves through the middle had started to wilt and die.
The Dwarf Awesome has gotten HUGE and has a tomato ripening up on it!!
The remaining red velvet is still going strong
