Terminated (11/7/18) ~ Garden of Herbs (6/11/18)

[Shawn]

The Lettuce Basil and Pluto Greek are coming up.  I can also see some life in the Oregano.  I planted Thyme and nothing yet but I will say this in my best "you are not looking at me, whisper voice" I THINK the Cilantro in the pod is finally doing something.  Shhh

Now waiting to see what happens with the Cilantro in paper towels.  If I get a few to germinate I will break out a harvest I have in the garage and plant them all.

[MaryL]

I hope you have good luck with the cilantro.

[Shawn]

Still nothing in my paper towels but I guess that is still early

I seem to have better luck with Calypso then Santo.

[MaryL]

That’s awesome!!  Even one is success.

[Shawn]

The Genovese was planted two weeks prior to the others.  The Basil Lettuce (back R), Pluto Greek (Center L) and Cilantro (Front L) are all about the same size and planted the same time.  The Oregano and Thyme show tiny life but they are also slower growers.  All but the Genovese were planted on 8/22 I think.  I should have wiped the down first but did if after the picture.

[Happy]

I can’t wait to hear how you like lettuce basil and Pluto basil!

[Shawn]

I trimmed several of the large Basil leaves and placed them in the freezer.

[Shawn]

All are doing well.  I ended the Genovese to Give the Greek Basil and Cilantro more room on the left side of the Harvest.  (no pictures of this yet)

But look at the size of this leaf on the Lettuce Basil.  I have already trimmed this once to remove two huge leaves.  This is after that trim.

[MaryL]

Huge!  I think I’m going to start using these in sandwiches because they so easily cover so much space.  It looks great.

[Shawn]

Cilantro is taking over the left front, you can hardly see the Greek Basil in the back LOL

A change to this ongoing garden.

I ended the Greek Basil and harvested a ton and have then in the freezer.  I moved the Cilantro to the back left hole.  I trimmed the Thyme and the Lettuce basil.  The Oregano is doing really well.

I have two open spots but will leave them for now.  

[Shawn]

Today I terminated the Lettuce Basil.  I did the initial trim too low, my fault.  I did get a full freezer container of it before ending.

I rearranged pods and planted something new.








PS, Id ANYONE needs this template or a template of another machine, PM me and I can give you the link to download.  I made them so they are simple.

Sorry to hear about the lettuce basil, Shawn.
But how did you like the leaves that you did harvest?

[Shawn]

The lettuce basil is wonderful.  I will grow again soon.

[MaryL]

The lettuce basil definitely has a low growth habit.  Good for short machines, over the long run.  But I'm still learning how best to prune/harvest them.

Btw I'd love to use your template.  (If I can figure out how...)

I should have taken a picture before and after.  I had to harvest some of my Cilantro and the Thyme.  I had a a lot of each.

[Shawn]

Greek Basil is almost over the label.  The oregano has wonderful large leaves growing.  The thyme has been pruned many times and keeps growing as with the Cilantro.

[Shawn]

Not much different but I took the done off the Greek Basil and will trim out some to one plant soon.
