I wanted to start these. My June GAL wasn't doing well and the geraniums were outside. Seeds: Baker Creek Sweet Alyssum (Tall White) Sponges: AG Nutes: AG + 2 ml of peroxide  The 360 to the left was where my June GAL was.  |

I've added the trellis but these look spindly to me. More nutes?  |

If you have been growing them at that hood height, then lower it a bit or they will stretch towards the light.

They are tall. I remember the ones I grew a while back and they were small and compact. Then I looked again at the ones you have and they said tall. So that answered my question on the height  What do they smell like? I ask because the ones I grew were honey scented. I really need to grow them again. |

I lost a lot of my sense of smell in my last few years in the military so I can't say exactly what they smell like but working over them there is a sweetness.

These are silly out of control, lol This space is my new virtual classroom so these guys will be the backdrop to many classroom learning events. I also added an aerovoir to this. It's the old style round one, I was topping this off every two days, if I went three it was empty... now I'm refilling the aerovoir every three days, these are some thirsty plants! I have new style aerovoirs as well, they have a spring sealed cap that makes refilling them so much easier, they are also easier to hide, I have them behind my farm right now, the old style just kind of stick out...  |

They would get a kick out of seeing Salad Bowl lettuce grow..harvest in 4 weeks! Also , are you joining us for the Grow along? Peas are fast and the kids could also plant them in soil in paper/plastic cups! Tom Thumb peas are great for a first pea project for the kids. A side by side comparison of your peas and a soil project and a grow along with the kids sounds like fun! Kids hate eatin' 'em, but love watching them grow!

This did incredibly well. I moved them to the garden in October and let the frost get them, they attracted the late fall bees fattening up their hives for the winter!
