There's something new to report.

First, if I haven't mentioned it before, AeroGarden went out of business as of January first. AeroGarden was owned by MiracleGro, but was apparently unable to sustain profitability.

AeroGarden was the source of four of my original hydroponic units (AeroGarden Harvests), two new units at fire sale prices (AeroGarden Sprouts), eleven reservoirs (AeroGarden Aerovoirs), eight bamboo drawers, a "Be-the Bee" vibrating flower diddler, and many prepared seed pods.

Second, I added a fourth rolling shelf unit to the garden. Partly, I was motivated by the new Sprouts and the old Smart Gardens. I was equally motivated by a desire not to have to bend over to reach the bottom shelf.

25 BABY TOMATOES (SO FAR)

THREE LEGACY ROLLING SHELVES

TWO NEW SPROUTS ($35 EACH) SALAD GREENS SEED PODS
