aerogarden tomatoes
I have just harvested the first small crop of cherry tomatoes from my
Aerogarden. They are lovely but I don't think I shall grow tomatoes again. Last year, I did herbs, which the Aerogarden came with, and they were great. It says you can't plant them out after they are too big for the contraption but I planted out the parsley OK. However, as we have so much of that already, it was rather more than we needed. The basil was no good and I just threw it away, as you would any basil grown in soil in the conventional manner. Similarly the coriander, although I kept the seeds and used them successfully this spring. I shall have a go at 'planting' my own seeds next. It is an expensive way of growing things if you have a real garden but (in typical June fashion) it is fun. The Aerogarden web-site and blog are both useful and the staff are very helpful and friendly to the extent that when I posted a query last year, just after my purchase, they telephoned me twice to see if everything was OK. -- June Hughes |

Sorry to follow my own post: PS It rather reminds me of the thing we used to do at junior school with jam jars, runner beans, blotting paper and soil. -- June Hughes |
