So several months back I "planted" a jalapeno seed, and some green onions I got from the grocery store, into my Aerogarden. The green onions grew normally for months, and the jalapeno did its thing also. However, for the past couple weeks, ever since the jalapeno plant stopped producing fruit and instead focused on ripening its peppers, the green onions have been growing like apeshit. Like no shit, I don't have a tape measure handy, but each shoot seems to be about 2.5 feet long, as long as my arm from my shoulder to my wrist. What's up with that? I'm thinking, the jalapeno plant is now no longer drawing so many resources from the shared aeroponic "pool", and so now the green onions get to use most of it, and as a result, have gone apeshit. You can see two of the shoots in this pic, there's a third that flopped over due to its own weight. There's another one growing fast as well, probably at one foot now.
