Full Speed Ahead!

Well, after only a little transplant shock, it would seem that my babies have transitioned will from their watery home in the AeroGarden to take root in their more permanent home in soil (in the greenhouse).

Phenomenal Growth

So, I came to the conclusion a few weeks ago that while the AeroGarden (AG) is more than suitable for starting plants, it leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to growing and maintaining them.

 

I tend to grow from the seeds that I already have from years before, and unfortunately for the AG most of these varieties are taller than what  it can support.  So I have to inevitably transplant my starts.  But there is no problem with transplanting especially since I have many times more space out in my garden than in the AG.

So now, we are in the cusp of May and the verge of summer. Where most people above zone 7 or 8 might just be getting started with their gardens, here in zone 9 we have to be careful to shade some plants since they can literally fry from too much heat. 

As such, I personally will have to closely monitor my babies, especially those in the greenhouse. But in the mean time, I will bask in the sun and enjoy how my garden is growing.
