Thanks for the tips! I have faith in this one (since it's basil) i know how readily they will jump back to life. I frequently forget about mine in the summer and nearly kill the thing and a splash of water brings it back. But i'll take some care and try to keep it moist and out of direct sunlight for the first few weeks. I'll be excited to start some new seeds in the AG after pulling this guy out. On a side note, its' the first time i've ever grown lemon basil and it smells AMAZING!! just like lemon. :-)

I really love basil and have many seeds for different varieties, including cinnamon basil! Ever tried Thai basil? It tastes like black licorice!


Ok here's that little geranium I put in the A-G awhile back. It's gonna bloom soon...





Geraniums bloom non-stop all year round, indoors.

Question Re: My Aero~Garden...

Were those seeds from me? I think there's been some kind of mix-up. If those seeds were from me, that's a "Table" tomato plant. I thought it was too big to be a micro-tom!

I planted the micro tom seeds I got from Janan, and then planted two different types of peppers you sent me.

Not sure how they got mixed up. You won't be disappointed though. That "Table" tomato is one amazing plant.

I thought you also sent Janan some micro toms? She sent me micro toms and spoon tomatoes separate from each other.

Talking Re: My Aero~Garden...

I'm certain I did but that plant you have looks more like a Table than a Micro! Not sure where the mix-up happened.


Woops!

Red face Re: My Aero~Garden...

I know but I'll be sure you'll get some of the authentic Micro-Tom seeds too. Sorry about that.


Yes, the table plant is a dwarf cherry tomato but the cherries are larger than most. The plant doesn't get too tall so no worries. The yields are usually huge so get ready to eat a lot of tomatoes! You've grown your plant beautifully, Jordan!

I actually forget the AG is back there in the corner and forget about them

I guess I should fertilize them also, I haven't in quite a while

Oh so success comes easy to you, does it? It looks like you've been caring for them night and day. They look fabulous! I can't wait to see the tomato crop you end up with!


Yeah, definitely add some fertilizer!

I do check on them daily, often many many times daily. I just don't think to fertilize or water them.

They will get even bigger with fertilizer!

Hey guys, what's up?

Those seeds came out of my Micro Toms that I have pictured here in the AG's. I still have the table tomato that you sent me in the package Sherry, and the one that I have grown - I did not harvest any seeds from those. It sure does look more like the Table than the Micro though. I did have one Micro that grew kind of wild like that but only one though. I have grown three so far.

Here is the newest MicroTom



I have a bud forming on my AG cantaloupe and several buds on my personal watermelon. The paint brush is standing by!





This is my beautiful and quite tasty redhead lettuce:



And this is the AG that I have planted in all leafy vegetables:



This is my dwarf pomegranate Nana:



and the Wonderful pomegranate that I gave a haircut with the Chamomile pushing it a bit.



The Mexican Fan Palm leaf is starting to spread out.



This is the Red grapefruit

Wow, everything looks terrific, Janan! I love the red lettuce...I think I gave you the seeds?


Well there you have it Jordan...I am not to blame! You've just got an oddball there. One that's gonna produce a lot of fruits I bet.


So Janan, I had a mystery seedling in my A-G and it's turned out to be an Amythest beautyberry shrub!!!

Yes Sherry, you sent me the seeds for the red lettuce and I LOVE it. You can see I am tearing the leaves off from the bottom up and they have more flavor than any lettuce I have eaten so far. You can tear one leaf off for a sandwich and actually taste the lettuce. I have more babies coming up in the leafy greens AG. It is my favorite and so pretty.

I was wondering if you had figured out what the little mystery seedling was. I need to start another one of those. I tried twice and they never popped for me. I FINALLY got two of my Marble seeds to pop.



They look kind of spindly though so I don't know if they are going to make it or not. But they actually sprouted underneath the cantaloupe leaf. It's like the light has been to strong for them or something.

I told you those were really fresh marble seeds..or were those yours? I have some that are 100% viable.


The Amythest Beautyberry seeds are also really viable but they take 10-14 days to come up. They're really tiny seedlings at first too...like petunias.


Great you have some marble seedlings again! Keep in mind that mine wouldn't produce fruits in the A-G so I took it out. It lives on in a pot now.

No these were mine. I haven't gotten yours yet. Yes, I am keeping that in mind. I couldn't get them to sprout in seed starter either though. Aren't those little marbles that you have under your special grow bulb? How are they doing?

I want to start some winterberry again too. They are smidgeon sprouts too. How are your winterberry doing? Haven't seen you post pictures of them in a while. And your geranium transplant that you moved into the AG. I have been wondering about that since they aren't a plant that I do very well with and was wondering if it would do well in the AG for me.
