Accuracy is underrated

This Boboai Digital Scale just arrived and lo and behold less than half of the tomatoes pictured before were over 8 pounds. And that didn’t include the very conservative estimate of 3 to 4 pounds of cherry tomatoes we’ve picked so far. Therefore, we’re hereby making the executive decision to bump up the harvest counter to 20lbs. We will start recording to 2 decimal places tomorrow.

Also just spotted the Little Brown Thrasher dining on the two beauties we left for him on the potting table. We almost got a picture, dangit! Camera is on the tripod if he comes back. Here birdy birdy…

Sunblaster Micro Grow Light Garden

We haven’t found a better way to grow herbs in the window sill than with the Sunblaster Micro Grow Light Garden. We bought two from Gardner’s Supply.

What we like most is that the 12 inch full spectrum fluorescent bulbs are replaceable. When the LED models burn out, you’re hosed. Believe us, we’ve learned the hard way.

We also like the fact they are thin  and long (7 x 18 inches), so they will fit on the window sill and can hold three 5 X 5 inch pots in each, giving us room for Parsley, Sage, Thyme, Oregano, Cilantro, and Basil.

We’ll do a more extensive review when we get the vids going.
