Ended - 3/23/22 - Herb Garden

[Shawn]

These are planted in the Farm Basic on the Left Side.

Two seeds per pod and no nutes to start

[lynnee]

It's interesting, I think, that most of us here usually plant fewer pods than the AGs are supposed to hold.

[Shawn]

lynnee, I have planted full decks of herbs and/or other plants and find that while it is possible, I like the ability for circulation and being not as crowded option and plant less pods.  As for my herbs I would normally plant a few more but there are herbs I do not need at the time so I did not include them.

lynnee, I have had mildew grow on lettuce when I use every space. There just isn't room for air to circulate and the plants stay wet, even with a fan on them.

Maybe it isn't so much as they are "supposed to hold" as it is options?  Options to grow a full deck of smaller items, say like flowers.  And options for placement to spread plants out to give them space around each for spread a bit.

Life in all except the Parsley thus far.  Oregano is doing really well and is pretty fast.

Parsley! I can’t use much parsley, because H is on blood thinners and parsley is so loaded with vitamin K that it negates the medication. However, I am bound and determined to grow some in the AG, just to prove that it can be done!

This looks like it'll be a nice garden of kitchen staples to get you through the gray winter. I haven't tried cooking with fresh oregano before. Last year when we grew parsley, it was surprisingly the most used herb out of all of them.

First, adorable pups in your profile pic.  I use the fresh oregano in my sauces and certain dishes I cook with.  I like freezing it fresh.  When I need it I just grab some out and crush it in my hands to put in the pot.

I replanted the oregano.  I lost balance and took the pod with me   I also added another Confetti Cilantro seed as they were not germinating yet.

Added Nutes (10ml)

Oh no, hope you are okay. Hopefully the cilantro germinates soon.

Yes I am.  I went up the ladder and my core is not there yet.  Since my surgery I still a ways to go.  I know to hold on to the wall when I go up and down.

[campingcorgis]

Maybe time for a new ladder?  One that has the grab bar at the top?  

[Shawn]

I have to redo my oregano and the one Cilantro

Nutes given today

Cilantro and Parsley

They have grown a lot since the last photo. How many seedlings did you leave for the parsley?

To be honest I do not know.  I will take a look at it today and let you know.
