I have two Bounty gardens that I have planted with tomatoes and peppers.
I over-planted these initially because I mistakenly thought that the number of pods in the box was indicative of the number of pods I should plant.
Thanks, Aerogarden.
I now know better, thanks to you good people here, so it has been a process of hacking my way through the jungle I had grown and deciding who got to live. Had to make some hard decisions.
But here's what I have going now -- The Non-Deadly Nightshades of Chex Clovis.
Bounty Full of Peppers --
I bought my first Bounty, and then went nuts on Aerogarden site ordering poblano, anaheim and banana peppers, and some Fairy Tale eggplants.
Then I started one pod of each, and tossed in an AG cherry tomato and some scallions because it looked so empty.
It ended up like this --
But over the last week or so, I have managed to trim it down to this --
And here they are, lined up like a trio of folk singers -- Poblano on the left, tall anaheim in the middle, and a sad little banana pepper that got to stay because it didn't take up too much real estate.
Only a few flowers on the poblano so far. There might be something going on up top of the anaheim, but I can't see up there. (I have a step stool coming.)
Bounty of Maters and Peppers --
The other Bounty started with three AG tomatoes and three AG jalapenos.
No 'before pictures', but here's after I culled it down to two tomatoes and two jalapenos --
Still too much, but they all have little peppers and tomatoes and flowers.
And now, we wait.
