What's New?

Well lots of stuff actually. I been keeping busy!

 Here is my sensitive plant blooming. Pretty pink flowers.

 I had a coupon for a free seed kit from aerogarden I received it because of the time issues with the aerogarden LED They are supposed to be fixed now; but honestly I haven't even looked at it. So I ordered a bell pepper kit. In the kit we are supposed to get red peppers. Well...I couldn't wait. I had these from the summer that had not been planted and I had a grow anything kit.. and I started them while aerogarden shipped their stuff.

Here is another video of the sensitive plants.

 First seedlings appear!

Rainbow bell peppers day 13. First set of true leaves are coming out and the second is just peaking...
Hope to have more for you guys soon. I only have the pepper aerogarden planted. The other one is waiting for some inspiration. What should I plant next?

catching up

Sorry I went missing for so long. I decided to go back to college and then I injured my back. I unfortunately did not photograph everything like I was before. Here is what happened to all my stuff:
My strawberries have moved outside and are doing well. My fruits are getting bigger. Not sure what I will do with it this winter.

 yummy!

 I planted a sensitive plant. It really moves when you touch it.

 Trying to see if I can grow some goji berries...

 This one was growing on the side of the pod so I just carefully picked it up and planted it. The aerogarden loves to hare its light! It is a sensitive plant. In the video you can hear my 3 year old say it fell asleep!

 Planted the Goji berry plant outside because it was getting big.

 Trimmed my strawberry plant.

 I removed the base of my aerogarden and it is a perfect grow light for  couple things.

 Remember the tomatoes I started growing? They were moved outside and are doing better. First harvest!

 Planted some lettuce again.

 I love my little tomatoes. Taste the same as regular tomatoes but they are little. My nephew loves them and eats them like candy!

 This year I decided to put some milkweed in my aerogarden. I found some caterpillars and decided to save them. The monarch population really needs some help! The season has ended now but looking forward to next year. I had dozens of monarchs!

 I placed this one on my potted strawberries. These are the ones I grew in my aerogarden. Sure need to clear out the dead leaves.

Here I took the milkweed from the aerogarden and put them in a pot. These monarchs were hanging out for a while. It was lots of fun to have them.
That's it. It has been some fun busy months with me and my aerogardens.

LED Day 94

So I had some rough weeks...stuff happened and now I am back on track. Here is the most current stuff!

First of all....the cucamelons were doing great outdoors. But then we had some bad weather. A week of rain, frost; yes frost in May... ugh! They didn't make it
The tomatoes were planted later and still got the frost but they are trying. Will take a photo later.

My strawberries, amazing. Have probably 20 fruits forming!

LED Day 80

about six weeks for these tomatoes...just wanted to show you some more closeups

the dots even spread to the branches so I cut them all off... sad

LED Day 79

My cucumbers were not doing well inside...could have been just me but I didn't thing they were growing anymore. So I figured they needed some time outdoors with some breeze and some helpful pollinating bugs. The move was devastating...I cut half of it off... it had spread everywhere!!!!
Look how big it still is though!

 the tomatoes just don't look so hot... really all that bad early trimming because of those green dots... they have a lot of growing to do.

 more lemon mint on my pizza...delish

LED Day 77

Yes, I am a little behind on my posts so today is catch up day... enjoy my many updates :)

 Two strawberries at different stages in their development. They look so different and cute!

 tomatoes tomatoes who wants some tomatoes?

Day 76 - LED

My tomato plants are about 6 weeks. Had some problems so I couldn't trim them properly. My tomatoes got these green dots all over... So I started cutting those...it was a weird thing.

 But they are flowering :)

 Here are my cucamelons.. getting bigger!

 My lemon mint sure looks yummy!

Finally the one I am most excited about. My white soul strawberries!
