Terminated 3/21/18 ~ Kitchen Herb Garden (11/8/17)

[Shawn]

I ended the other Harvest and transplanted the Cilantro, Rosemary and Thyme here.  As of today I also started a Genovese Basil.

Machine:   Harvest
Sponges:   Park
Pods:        Cilantro (Park), Thyme (Burpee), Rosemary (Burpee) and Genovese (Swallowtail)
Nutes:       8ml

I just finished harvesting a ton of Thyme.  Next week I will end this one.  I also plucked a few Cilantro stems.  Once I remove the thyme I may plant another Cilantro.


Please excuse the cardboard in the background, I forgot to throw it away.

I’m glad you saved the rosemary from the other Harvest.  I’m still pulling for that little guy.

[Shawn]

Me too.  

[drbanks]

Me three!

[Shawn]

I harvested all the Thyme.  Boy did that take a lot of time to do LOL.  removing each of those tiny leaves.  But now I have a huge container in the freezer waiting to be used for Thanksgiving dinner.

The Rosemary is doing well.  The Cilantro is going wild and all 4 seeds of the Genovese are growing.  I am waiting to prune it down to one, just not time yet to do.

I think I am going to plant another Cilantro later today as I need to stock my freezer as well as have fresh on hand.

[drbanks]

So glad that the Rosemary is finally coming around!

[drbanks]

I've got an unplanted harvest.  Maybe six cilantro pods would perk both it and me up a bit.

[MaryL]

I need to plant more cilantro as well. I think the last 2 unlabeled herb pods that didn’t make it were the cilantro :/

[Shawn]

My Rosemary is growing ever so slowly.  I figure by Spring it may be ready to be picked LOL 


The Genovese is growing slower but I think it is because it is cooler in the house, as for the Cilantro, I nipped a lot at it yesterday for the Salsa (and used some of my frozen stash.

[drbanks]

It should pick up after a bit.

[MaryL]

Your herb gardens are always so much tidier than mine.

[drbanks]

Her everything gardens are always so much tidier than mine. 

[Shawn]

I am not OCD by any means but I try to keep them clean.  One because I like the cleanliness and two, I do not want Proxy eating any hting that falls, especially if a pepper buds falls off,

[MaryL]

I need to remember that I should keep them trimmed even if I’m just going to throw it away.  

[Shawn]

Here is the Cilantro, Genovese and Rosemary

my rosemary never got to looking like THAT!

[drbanks]

It's not the speediest of plants, but Shawn has shown admirable patience with it.

 admirable patience 

Stop!  Do you know how many times I have removed that from the Harvest to ditch it only to say nah leave it grow.  Just last night I wondered if I should keep it.  But I am, for now 

[MaryL]

It had a bit of a growth spurt, inasmuch as rosemary can. It’s noticeable. And it looks healthy.

[Shawn]

Just pinched back my Basil and Cilantro. Cut a few Rosemary leaves off too.

Also planted a pod with 3 seeds of the Dwarf Greek Basil.  Can't wait to see how this tastes.
