So, I just can't stand that blank spot in the kitchen. I don't want to start flower gardens yet, so I've started some Genovese Basil and Curley Parsley. There are 4 Basil and 1 Parsley, in the middle. They are AG pods, just sitting there waiting to come to life! Fingers crossed. I set up my original AG, the Bounty Elite Artisan, Grey model. The plan is to gift 3 of the basil, again, as replacements for those that didn't survive the PNW heatwave. The 4th basil is a back-up or will be used here, as will the Curley Parsley. Who knew I would be missing the parsley so much! The stuff from the market just isn't the same!!  No nutes yet. Pictures to come!  |

GMTA. I am planning to start genovese basil and curly parsley in my kitchen, too.
Mine will be in a Harvest, though. Maybe one plant each.
Good luck on your gift wowing the recipient this time around!  |

Good luck on your gift wowing the recipient this time around! Thanks Sher! And I did consider using the new Harvest 360. How fun! I'll be watching your grow too! |

Not yet 24 hours and there are already little fish eyes in three of the basil pods! I didn't mention before, but I did make sure to carefully soak the pods before placing the the AG.

Teeny, tiny, little green leaves in 2 of the basil pods. The other basil pods are right behind these. The parsley is on Hawaii Time. I can see what looks to be 4 seeds, but that's about all to report there.  |

So, there's green in all the basil pods, nothing happening in parsley yet. I went ahead and gave Ionic Grow nutes.

Same here. I am hoping my little basil sprouts wll not shade out the parsley before it gets started.

That is why I turn my plants daily. It forms a soft root ball that I can squeeze together if and when I move my plants around so I can better situate them. I know root balls can be hard to get out so maybe just turn them every so often so they do not tangle together as much.

Shawn, you have mentioned that so many times and I ALWAYS forget.
Maybe I need to stick post it notes to my machines!

Thanks, Shawn and Sher! I was trying to remember my very first herb garden. I think the parsley was slow then too, but I kept it around for a long, long time. It doesn't really bother me, IF the parsley doesn't grow this time. I just felt there was room in the Bounty, so, why not? I just wanted to get the basil going to gift again...and just to have something growing in the big old empty spot in the kitchen!? Hoping that it might be ready to gift, before we leave for Idaho. I would think it should grow faster in the Bounty than it did in the Sprout? |

Shhhh! Don't want to jinx it, but I do believe there might be signs of life in the parsley pod!!  |

Day 12: I must admit I've not been paying much attention to the garden for a couple of days. Fortunately, it doesn't need much at this stage. I will need to thin the basil soon. And, there are little green leaves in the parsley pod! Woo hoo! |

Yours look much better than mine. I think my seeds were old. The basil does not look a healthy green no matter how much I tinker with the nutrients, and the parsley is not up yet.
I think I will restart with fresh seeds.
Glad yours are thriving!

Somehow, mine seem slower this time around too. But, when I look at my previous garden posts, they don't seem different? Go figure! A couple of the basil are almost ready for their first pruning. |

It is weird but I find in the summer my plants grow slower LOL... Maybe just in my mind.
