It is a precious little thing. I just worry about it trying to fruit since it is so tiny! I just started another seed this morning just to see how it will grow (hopefully) for me.

Here is my gigantic Royal Empress, it is in my tall deluxe AG, but it is growing at such a fast rate I know I will have to take it out soon.



The other growing beside it is still growing fast also but it is not a tree, the triple white datura.



I started some new seeds this morning. Another Fish pepper, Rainbow Swiss Chard, Patio Temptation Strawberry, the Little Blue, Red Head Lettuce, and yesterday I started a couple of personal size round watermelon seeds!

Wow everyone's plants look so great. Janan that Empress tree is huge. My pansy seeds don't seem to be growing so I may just plant them outside and try to look for something else to plant. I got some Jacaranda seeds from a friend. I planted a few and put 2 in my AG. one rotted and the other one is sprouting. I'm really excited about growing Jacaranda. I probably won't ever see any blooms but the foliage is so delicate and lacy so I can grow it for foliage.

I took the clear dome off of it, figured it was germinated enough

Looks GREAT boys!!!

I love that you are growing a Jacaranda TREE in the AG Cam! They are so beautiful!

Looks like your MicroTom shed the seed coat with 3 leaves Jordan. Is that what happened?

Yes I love the way it looks Cam, but I know I will have to move it soon. How are your Datura coming along?

I'm just going to grow a few until they get bigger, since I don't have anything other ornamental plant to go in my AG. My little pom seedlings have their first true leaves. I'll have a grove of poms lol. My datura seeds never came up so I'm going to sow them directly in my garden in spring.

Thumbs up Re: My Aero~Garden...

Wow, everyone's stuff looks terrific! Thanks so much for contributing lots of shots. Pictures make the thread more fun. And later when new people look at our thread, they'll see all the cool stuff you can grow in an aero-garden.


I am totally freaked out! Look what I just found trapped under one of my cups!!!





Don't know how he got in there, but I sure know how he got out!

I've never had swiss chard before, I see it all the time in the store. I have these weird looking spiders every summer that look like they have pincers. They are pretty ugly too lol

I'm not scared of any of the little critters I have a pet tarantula and scorpion by the way

Hey Sherry, did the back of that spider have a white face looking thing on it? It's a type of jumping spider we get around here quite a bit

I would be terrified of a tarantula, especially after watching Arachnophobia as a child

I think I have seen that movie.... It made me mad though because of how scientifically wrong it was though

I am sitting there watching the movie:
"SPIDERS DON'T HAVE MOUTHS!!! "



And that's why I don't watch horror movies, that and they freak the (insert word of choice here) out of me!

Ok so back on topic, my aerogarden is turned on right now

I like spiders, they are very beneficial. I had a pet tarantula name Hercamer. I have lots of spider pictures in my "Critters" thread.

That is odd that the spider showed up inside the dome! Something in there must have looked edible!

I was really freaked out when I saw it. I couldn't believe it was in there. I never kill spiders and know how beneficial they are.

I like spiders when they are outside but if they come near me indoors they have to go. I actually brought one indoors by accident when I brought my plants indoors, it was a pretty big spider and it did a lot of jumping.

Several weeks ago, at the Florida nursery show, Kat and I purchased several trays of TCs that we split. We just cut the trays in half, between the cells. When I was cutting one, a little 2 inch gecko jumped out, and clung to my shirt.

The essentials came in the mail and now I am ready to get started. Problem is I can't decide what to start with. We have plenty of tomatoes outside along with several sweet and hot peppers, and they are doing great. Was thinking about bananas but some of them take so long to germinate. I am going to order some papaya seed so they will be a candidate for some spots when they get there. Guess I will just reach into my sack of unknowns and start whatever with them. Might even find out what some of them are. Am going to have to use labels.
Wish me luck.

Oh that's just great, Noah.


If you're anything like us you'll change your mind a hundred times. Let us know what you finally decide on.


Feel free to post shots as things germinate and grow too.


Oh and finally after 20 yellow swiss chard sprouts, I finally have what looks to be a pinkish/purple one! I'll show it shortly...
