Planting two pods, one at each end of the grow deck. I want to be able to use the kitchen counter space for a garden, but some plants, like cilantro and parsley, objected to the air purifier being right below that counter. I’m hoping the Tatsoi won’t be bothered. That, and it’s a pretty plant, so if anyone comes through the door, they see an attractive garden!

Sprouts are up in both pods!

The sprouts were doing well until today. Today, they look like they are starting to have problems. I checked pH, and that is within range, so I'm assuming that it's another case of a garden with seedlings not liking close proximity to the air purifier.

I have moved them to the office. Perhaps I will try them in the kitchen again when they are more mature.

The odd thing is that it isn't bothering my microgreen grows. They are a little further from the air purifier, but not by much, essentially the depth of the AG unit.
