One Bounty currently has 4 banana pepper plants about 3" tall, and I really need to move two of them before they get much bigger. (Started out as two pods but when it came time to cull seedlings I just couldn't do it.  )
Checking garden inventory, I see that I only have regular Harvest gardens available for planting. Well... everyone knows that a Harvest just isn't right for a pepper plant!!! Sooooooo, off to the AG website I go to check out the Bounty prices for today. There's an OK sale (not great) but I found an additional $10 code online and decided that a Bounty Basic will work for peppers.
So in true Addict fashion, I bought a Bounty Basic so that two little pepper plants will have a home. What's your Addiction Confession?? I know you have one (or more.)  |

I bought a new Harvest just to plant some tatsoi, which I didn't even know was a thing until a couple of weeks ago.

I'm about to reactivate a Bounty to start more tomatoes, even though our CA electricity rates are skyrocketing! I was actually eying the electricity-hungry air purifiers--which we run to help with H's respiratory problems and to clear wildfire smoke--and actually wondering whether we really need them!  |

OK, I can't be the only one who scrolls regularly through Etsy and Amazon to see if there are new AG gadgets.  (I have resisted those "wraps" to apply to the outside of a garden but only because I don't like any of the patterns, lol.) |

I popped almost 18 dollars for an Aerogarden Be the Bee pollinator, then I felt like an idiot after I found out here that a 5-buck kid's battery powered toothbrush does the same thing.
Special note -- The $5 kid's battery powered toothbrush came with a battery and a cool picture of a Minion. The $17.99 Aerogarden Be the Bee thing had neither.

You didn't buy the bee costume?

Hah. I own a couple of the Be the Bees and I think they are really cute. (I am P.T. Barnum's poster child.)

The kid's toothbrush is better, too, because you don't have to keep holding the button down to make it vibrate. This matters when you have a lot of blooms to pollinate, as with a Fairy Tale eggplant.  |
