Species Spotlight 🌱

Happy Friday Everyone!

In honor of the end of another long week, I thought it would be a fun idea to introduce you to a few of our hard-working "employees" ... since they're the ones who do the real heavy-lifting around here anyways.

Presenting the Green Team's nominations for November's "Species Spotlight"
... aka our "employee of the month" 😁

Name: Butterhead Lettuce
Age: 1.5 months
The fourth generation in our grow room this semester, this plant produces gorgeous, thick green growth. Along with its neighbors, it spreads out to fill up our towers very quickly, forming a blanket of delicious salad potential!

Name: Parsley, Giant of Italy
Age: 1.5 months
No harvests from this one yet, but we're getting very close! A beautiful green baby with vigorous growth.

Name: Chervil
Age: 2.75 months
Two harvests to date of this delicate-looking herb. Exhibits beautiful green coloring and rapid growth!

Name: Fine Verde Basil
Age: 2.5 months
A kitchen favorite. This individual (and friends) have produced regular harvests for Blair and Garst for over a month now! Definitely a plant with a can-do kind of attitude.

Name: Olympic Red Kale
Age: 3 months
Beautiful deep purple foliage and rapid growth make this one a favorite as well. Regular harvests for several weeks now!

Feel free to vote for your favorite in the comments, and have a great weekend!
