AeroGarden - Salad Greens - Day 47

It's been 10 days since our last entry on our AeroGarden that has the salad greens growing. They have been doing quite well, but one thing that we've noticed

with the salad greens kit is that there are some "vines" growing. This is has been caused by each of these producing alot of leaves, with our last harvest on Sunday (July 6th) we trimmed several of these off. Because they were starting to get twisted, and was causing some of the new growth in the AeroGarden to be held down and die. When we did this trimming, we didn't trim out all of the vines around the but on a couple of pods we did. One thing you need to be aware of, is NOT to trim any new growth that is occurring on that pod in the AeroGarden .

As you can see that the pod that we trimmed down more than recommended is recovering, may take a few more days to have leaves to harvest. But it looks much better than it did before our last harvest. Looking the rest of the garden, you can see there is alot of growing continuing. We will need to harvest tonight or tomorrow at the latest, harvesting is taking place twice a week. You need to also remember, to remove any dead leaves at the bottom of each pod. Again this is normal, but could cause some new growth to die if they grow through the dead leaves.

Suzette had a salad last night, with a Poppyseed dressing and she said that it was delicious. Obviously it must of been delicious, I didn't even get a bite (haha).
