Last month, I ordered an AG Bounty Elite because AG had it on sale. The sale price has come down twice since I ordered, but I can't complain. AG sent me two Bounty Elites by mistake. I decided to keep them both--it's true that you can never have too many Aerogardens!--so I emailed them and asked them to invoice me. Their reply thanked me for my honesty, and said to keep the second Bounty Elite, because they had no way to bill me through their present system. Two Bounty Elites for the price of one ain't too shabby!  Also, here's a photo of the AG bell peppers that I just harvested. The plant has been kind of sluggish, so it seemed like a good idea to let it concentrate on the newer fruit that has set. These are smaller and less perfectly shaped than the ones from the plant that died, but it's an early harvest. I'll pickle them tomorrow.  |

Cool & nice harvest!
If I can ask, where did you get the tiered planter?

Cool & nice harvest! If I can ask, where did you get the tiered planter? I got it from Amazon a couple of years ago, but it doesn't seem to be available now. This was the listing: SUPERIOR TRADING CO. THREE TIER URBAN GARDEN PLANTER (STC-1891) (Black, Size 26" x 32" x 36"). I can't remember what I paid for it. It was difficult to assemble, because you really had to pound on some of the connecting parts. I love the thing, though, because the planter boxes are lightweight and easy to empty. Also, it really is portable. Where I have it, it doesn't need wheels, but it rolls around if needed. |

My three green bell peppers have teamed up with a red onion to become pickled peppers. That's a quart jar. 🙂 I used a simple recipe from Taste of Home. They are refrigerator pickles, to be consumed in about a week, if they last that long. The vinegar turned a bit dark in the fridge, or else the red onion colored the brine.  |

My banana pepper plant has several more harvestable peppers. This is the third crop in 130 days. It shares the right side of the FarmPlus with the recently harvested bell pepper plant. The left side has a 21-day garden with three pods of AG lettuce (mixed greens) and two pods of Swiss chard. The lettuce has been providing leaves for sandwiches.   |

Your photos are always picture perfect. Lovely garden! Thanks, sher. The photos are from my Galaxy S10 phone. Who needs a regular camera, when your phone takes such highly detailed photos! 😎 |

Today I did an R&R on the Farm Plus 24, using the battery-powered siphon. What a difference it makes! It's much faster than the Farm drainage hose and pump, and empties nearly all of the water. Thanks, you guys, for suggesting that siphon.

My Poblano peppers have sprouted. Inspired by something I read here, I transplanted a healthy second sprout from one pod to a new sponge. It perked right up, and looks like it will do fine. The mini jalapeno pepper may or may not germinate.  The fairy tale eggplants have also germinated. Only one is far enough along for a photo.  |

The reluctant peppers are trying. The three peppers on the righthand plant are growing slowly. The lefthand plant has finally set some fruit. The weather has cooled, and the temps are supposed to stay cool for a while, so maybe they'll pick up the pace.   |

lynnee, the transplanted poblano looks very happy! Glad you saved it!
And woohoo for the eggplant! Their fruits are just beautiful.
Your reluctant peppers look great to me. I was almost ready to end my reluctant pepper project, but for some reason they also look a lot better and are flowering.

The bell peppers in my upstairs Bounty are growing, but very, very slowly. Perhaps it is too warm for them? It can get up to 88 or 90 in the late afternoon in the room they are in. I did some radical pruning today. Here are the before and after photos.   |

The banana pepper (aka "Poblano") continues to produce like there's no tomorrow. Photos below. The bell pepper that's next to it (no photo, except for what you can see behind the banana peppers) is on its second crop, and has 4-5 peppers, but they are growing slowly.   |
