It’s Day 19 for the left unit of the Farm and things have spread out a bit since my last update.  The right unit is on Day 9 and the sprouts there are all looking well. At least two of these domes will come off tonight.  And today I raised the light on the left unit just slightly to accommodate the ridiculous growth of the Baby Greens. They’ll get pruned tonight at dinner.  |

Oh my, that is a gorgeous lettuce garden. What a great pic you took, too. I feel like I could just reach in and pick some leaves!

It’s Day 21 in the left unit of the Farm Plus and this is where things are.  I’ll also note that this is after I took my first small harvest on Day 19 in order to have a little side salad with my dinner.  Meanwhile things in the right unit continue to progress a little faster than what I saw in the left unit.  All I need now is three more Farms. 🙂 |

Is someone Addicted to Aerogardening   100%. I've had a lot of hobbies in my life, but this seems like the one that's going to stick. |

I totally agree. I started with one machine three years ago and now have 10. Oh wait that number is wrong, I have 9. One is now in the trash  , anyway ... Right now I have 6 going. I actually have a brand new unopened Harvest in its box sitting under my desk. One in my Garage in its box as well as an Extra I need to change the pump on. But I can only handle these unless I can lift more.
I need a whole room for AG'ing. Or a bigger house  |

Had my first major harvest from lettuce garden in the left unit of the Farm Plus tonight. It was enough for three side salads that fed me and my boys. The boys had a hard time believing that individual lettuces actually had flavors. They're so used to the big packs of greens we get from the grocery store, or bags of single types of lettuce at the farmer's market. I was quite pleased that they noticed a difference without me prompting them. The lettuces in the right unit have continued to grow just as well as the ones in the left. One of my boys helped me with an R&R in the right unit today, so we're only a week or so away from a harvest from that one as well. In the mean time I'm plotting what I'll get into when my new units arrive. Also: Not only did I not get in trouble for my purchases, but I was told to stop apologizing. My wife is so happy that I'm in love with the AeroGardens that she doesn't want me to feel bad about it.  |

That is wonderful Nick. On all counts, the harvest, boys liking and tasting the difference and most of all your wife not being mad 
This is one hobby that keeps on going and going and growing!

I echo Shawn. Great experiences and news all around. I’m particularly happy for you that the whole family is enjoying it. My spouse took a little convincing...   , lol. |

It’s Day 26 for the lettuce garden in the left unit. We had a big harvest on Sunday night so I’m letting them have a few days off.  It’s also day 16 for the lettuce garden in the right unit. Things continue to move along there, though the one Salad Greens pod in the front (bottom of the photo) seems undersized compared to its sibling right next door. Oh well. It looks fine, just small.  My son wanted to see the roots of the plants in the left unit so here’s a bonus shot of those.  |

Looks like it’s going to be a salad night tonight. Day 31 for these plants.  Day 21 for these.  A friend just happened to send both golden and purple cherry toms over this morning from her garden. It’s shaping up to be a tasty evening. |
