Aerogarden Day 42 - Feb 6th 2009 - Quick Update - Tablet Day - Harvest - Cleanup

Just thought I'd add a quick update from yesterday, as today I had the red light to add fertilizer tablets (nutrients).

I harvested some Mint, Chives, Dill, and Oregano today, and you will see it all in a bag with the basil from yesterdays harvest. I think things will fill out nicely now this cycle.

Cleaned up the tray / pot again this cycle, dried nutrients/water, cleaned up a few dry or sickle looking leaves, tried to help straighten things out, added the tablets, topped up the water.

I'm suprized the thyme hasn't done better, it grows pretty easily in dirt. The chives are pretty thin, only 3 seeds ever sprouted, and one of them was on the top of the surface and never rooted deep. And on the flip side of that I'd have to say that maybe too many Dill, Mint and Oregano sprouts came up per pot, and if I were to do the herbs set again, I might think about thining out the sprout to reduce them fighting for their life.
