Jenbro, since you won't FB friend me.

Posted by Bacon (aka redmond) Jul 10 '12, 20:22

I just posted a picture of the 50 gallon fish tank I got for having a year round herb garden.

chives, green onions, basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, dill, cilantro, and if room still available lettuce and spinach.

All year! All fresh! All the time!! Been loving the fresh herbs in my salad and cooking.

how are you growing the cilantro? mine is doing crappy on my windowsill. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 20:37 16
- Haven't tried it yet. Just have the seeds. I am guessing the grow lights should help. - Bacon Jul 10, 20:39 15
  - Oh man, our cilantro plant outside is OUT OF CONTROL. -- nm - kelly Jul 10, 20:43 14
    - my cilantro is flowering and it won't make the nice leaves!!! I know I'm doing something wrong. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:11 8
      - How much have you planted? Coriander seems to grow better when you plant a lot of it. -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 21:21 3
        
        errr, one little flowerpot. Dude, I don't even have a balcony. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:25 2
        
        Then that's what you're doing wrong! Too small a pot and not enough sun. -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 21:27 1
        
        I put it in a bigger pot! and it gets tons of sun! -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 22:13
      - If a plant gets stressed it will try to seed sooner. - Bacon via droid Jul 10, 21:21 2
        
        Really? Huh. - kelly Jul 10, 21:29
        
        I know, so I must have stressed it, but I don't know how. I water it when it wilts so I don't think I'm overdoing it. and I cut all the flowers. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:27

        Mmmmmmm bacon tomatoe & basil sandwiches!!! -- nm - JenBro Jul 10, 21:41
        
        I just threw some basil in my salad tonight. Here you go! This will be awesome good with tortilla chips. -- (link) - Bacon Jul 10, 20:50 1
        
        I loooove pico de gallo. -- nm - kelly Jul 10, 21:27

  - I'm confused. what is the shelf for? -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 20:39 8
    - On the short stuff I am going to double up (thyme, other short ones) and have a bulb shooting from the side. So I get twice the growth in that space. -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:40 7
      - No light... dying... -- nm - bottom shelf herbs Jul 10, 20:49 5
        
        Shooting a light from the sides too -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:50 4
        
        I HATE whiney herbs. I really do -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:50 3
        
        Awwwwwww, what'd I ever do? -- nm - Herb Durbin si Jul 10, 20:55 2
        
        I miss you. Can we get back together? -- nm - Peaches and Herb Jul 10, 20:55 1
        
        Okay fine. -- nm - Herb Tarlek Jul 10, 21:07
      - Tall stuff like green onions, chives, etc will grow almost to the top. -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:41
  - That's huge. Awesome! -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 20:30
  - Riiight...he says it's for 'herbs' :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 10, 20:28
  - Very cool. Idk why I never thought of an aquarium. I've been thinking about a container garden for herbs, etc. for some time now. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 10, 20:28 8
    - Here are the bulbs I got. Frys had them, but you can get online. -- (link) - Bacon Jul 10, 20:48
    - I found it for $14 bucks at Goodwill. I really didn't care if it leaked or not because I won't be filling it with water. - Bacon Jul 10, 20:34 6
      - That's awesome. I was just thinking about places to pick up an aquarium for cheap. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 10, 20:44 5
        
        Thrift stores. I just kept going in until they had one. -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:44 4
        
        They want 80 bucks or more at Petco. No thanks! -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:45 3
        
        Oh yeah... - miffed67 Jul 10, 20:48 1
        
        If you do this we can exchange tips. -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:52
        
        If you get herb snips (nice scissors) you can cut some of the herbs like chives and they just keep growing back. -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:46
  - I can see it but not sure if that proves it worked -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 20:26
