October 2025 Farm Report

Patio Peppers... HOT

Most of my farm reports are posted on or near the first of the month. Not so, this time. I will start with the usual summary of equipment.

I have eight AeroGarden Sprouts, named Sprout 1 through Sprout 8.

I have four AeroGarden Harvests named Harvey, Harvey Too, Seble, and Teresa, one Harvest Elite named Crusie, and one Harvest 2.0 named Mildred.

I have four 12-pod iDOOs named Lillian, Liam, Aaden, and Justice. Only Lillian and Liam are planted.

I have four 12-pod Lykos named Cecile, Alice, Faith, and Fred. All are in dry lay-up except Fred. Fred is on loan to the house's adult supervision for growing an adult crop.

I have two cute little 3-pod units named Cutie Patootie and Shirley. Voth are fallow.

All my Mason jars are retired, for now. I may use one or another to start a plant.

There are six Click & Grow Smart Garden-3s in dry lay-up. They will be renamed if returned to service.

There are fourteen AeroGarden Aerovoirs. They are designed to keep hydroponic unit tanks from running dry. They usually work, but monitoring is necessary.

I have a plethora of accessories to each type of garden. pod covers. Light exclusion barriers (to minimize algae and mold.) Domes. Sponges and seed pods.

Still alive at this time are a half-dozen tomato plants, mostly Orange Hat Micro tomatoes, still producing. There are two Patio Pepper Plants, also producing. Several green onion plants thrive. Finally, there are herbs. Dill, Genovese Basil, Mint, Curley Parsley.

In November's report, there may be pictures.
