Thyme in a bottle




Poets have often wondered if they could save thyme in a bottle. The answer is "oh hell yes." After about a week, the purple basil and chives are looking pretty good too. :o) (Not so much for the dill, but it was already ill.)

Basil outside and in the office




I have been experimenting with transplanting GrowPods into containers. Meet Basil. I was having a hard time keeping up with the basil, and I wanted to lower the lights in that unit so I could get other stuff started, so I yanked him out and put him in a vase, with my formula of one tablespoon coffee grounds (for nitrogen and carbon) and a little java moss (for oxygen). He spent some time indoors and out, even in the direct sun, and he looked OK for a few days. Now he's starting to look dried out though.
