The start of tomato flowers

front: jalapeno, chives (recently harvested)
back: tomato, bell pepper

front: jalapeno, chives, bachelor's button (in dome)
back: tomato, bell pepper

I threw bachelor's button flower seeds into the Aerogarden
just for the hell of it, and what do you know? They grew!

Listen, Mr. Bell Pepper.  You are taking over so it's time
to go OUTSIDE!

Bell pepper root system - wow!

Front: chives (recently harvested), bachelor's button flower
Back: tomato, jalapeno
I keep harvesting the chives again and again and again!  It seems like I can't harvest them fast enough, every few days they are up to the lights again!

Today I made some egg sandwiches, and scrambled the garlic chives into the eggs.  It was good!

Just when we thought we'd retire the okra plant from
spring, it makes more okra!
