Day 45: I finally got the pot back from my nail guy, so I moved the 3 largest basil plant to it, with new potting mix. He got rid of the original even though it was only used for a very short time. He must have dumped the cool water gage too. Oh, well. In any event, I think the plant are too big and I had to lose too many roots to remove them from the AG pods. It has been a couple of hours and they haven't fainted...yet. We'll see how things go for a few days. If they make it, I'll deliver it back to him next week. Fingers crossed. Mikey's comment was, "oh, well, dump them and start over." Could, maybe, we'll see. I think I would want to just keep the pot and move them as soon as they seem strong enough!?  |

Good luck. Sometimes trimming the top to match the smaller roots helps. Sometimes it's just too stressful. Hoping they make it!
Some people feel it's rude to return a dirty pot. Maybe tbat's why be dumped it. Who know!

I gifted the 3 basil plants yesterday. Forgot to take farewell picture. Today, I've decided to try out the AG Aerovoir with the remaining 2 plants, 1 basil, 1 curly parsley. So, I did the 56 day R&R for the garden and then refilled about 2 inches short of the proper fill to here marking. Set-up the Aerovoir and let it go. About an hour or so later, it was up to proper level. Seems to be holding there, without issues, leaks, etc. I'm hoping that if I fill the bottle before our trip and set the unit to Vacation mode, I'll have happy plants when we return 12 days later. We'll see? Anyway, here's a shot...  |

Thanks Sher! Believe me, I wouldn't have tried, but these two are pretty slow and easy going plants. This basil is the runt of the litter!  They don't drink much and they don't need much pruning...but thanks for the good luck wishes anyway!!! |

Before we hit the road, I did some trimming of the basil and the parsley too. Brought them along for the trip. Basil is in the freezer.  |

Well, they survived...even thrived! Still water left in the Aerovoir too!   |
