They Grow Up So Fast

The seeds I planted have come up nicely, it has been about two weeks now.  Here are the current results:

Basil - 1/2" seedlings
Cilantro - 2"
Parsley - 1/2"
Chives - 2"
Oregano - 1/4"
Spearmint - 0"
Rosemary - 0"

Cilantro

I have also made some progress in acquiring the supplies to build my vertical garden.  I went to my local hydroponics store (Long Island Hydroponics in Rocky Point; http://www.longislandhydroponics2.com) I found nutrient solution, a large slab of rockwool and a water pump for the drip irrigation system.

I have been having some trouble keeping my garden free of pests recently both large and small.  Another benefit to the vertical garden is that such problems aren't so common indoors, and the portability of the structure will make it easy to transport if such problems arise.
