Yes; I have a couple of Bounty models that can have 3 levels of trellis... And a Farm model that has bungee-type trellis... I think the most important things for cukes are that they are heavy feeders and need plenty of light. The Bounty has a 50 watt light and the Farm has a 60 watt grow light.
Red Robins are a dwarf tomato plant you might like. I tried them once. Red Robin tomato seeds produce hardy, compact dwarf plants that deliver high yields of delicious cherry tomatoes. Red Robin tomato plants are easy to grow, and best suited for containers whether located indoors or outdoors. While Red Robin tomato plants will deliver the highest yields in outside containers, plants will set fruit in lower light indoor conditions and still deliver moderate yields of sweet cherry tomatoes.
I have grown red robins. I've got several dwarf and determinate varieties of tomatoes. Currently I'm also growing a new type called "Dwarf Awesome" that have a regular size slicing fruit instead of another cherry/mini variety.
I'm so excited!! I have started some Tom Thumb peas and I'm seeing some germination. I also want to grow some sugar snap peas; I like to eat those raw.
I can't add anything, but I have heard a rumor that @Michelle Anderson has a bunch of Aerogardens. I bought her the first one but she's improved upon that considerably.
My "Mega Cherry" tomatoes are finally beginning to ripen. These are about the size of golf balls. And this is one petunia plant! It's the "creeping" variety. @Ed Wilson -- here's my Red Robin tomato plant. It has had at least 3 fruit sets on it. I prune it back and it grows a new canopy and blooms again. Very prolific little plant.
Aerogarden PSA: In case anyone "needs" an Aerogarden, their website is having an early Black Friday sale. 20% off $100; 30% off $150, and 40% off $200. Many gardens are already on sale so the additional percentage is killer. Also, MrRebates is 6%.
I'm slowly getting all the active gardens R&R (rinse and refill) done. Yesterday I terminated 2 banana peppers and 2 fajita peppers. Frankly, I'm sick of banana peppers and won't ever plant that many at one time again. (Still have one active garden with plants FULL of banana peppers.) So those plants were cut up and tossed on the mulch pile. The AGs were surprisingly clean considering how long the pepper plants were growing in them. Today I'm going to terminate my Tatsoi garden, clean the machine, and replant Tatsoi. I love having bok choy and Tatsoi available and they are so easy to grow. I have started new plantings of Red Robin cherry tomatoes (my personal favorite), bell pepper, poblano pepper, veranda red tomatoes, romaine lettuce, and some herbs (dill, sage, parsley). A couple of progress pics... Fairy Tale Eggplant at 47 days; no blooms yet. National Pickling Cucumber at 23 days...
Have any of you aero-gardeners tried strawberries? I am thinking about growing things year around that I can eat easily without a lot of processing. Also are chemicals fertilizers required? Those golf ball size tomatoes look great and something I would like.
I don't have an actual aero garden but I have a south facing bay window and some dirt. Surprisingly I now have some sweet potatoes growing that are not even two weeks old. Sweet potatoes don't/can't grow here but there were some eyes on hubby's that I cut out before cooking it. I tossed them in some water, brought in a pot and stuck them in, last week. The soil was too low in this pot so I tipped it and put it in the window. Darned if they aren't an inch high with little leaves today. I have tried before putting a sweet potato in a glass of water held by toothpicks. The eyes are supposed to sprout and eventually you take them out to the garden. It takes weeks!!! or longer. It is way too early to start them now but that ship has sailed. Hope they don't get bugs. I got a box of eikhorn wheat (a precursor to our hybrid wheats) at the grocery store. It was from Italy. I sprouted it once but only 50% lived, the rest just molded. I guess it is kind of old although the use before date had not expired. I will try again and plant the successes in with my opium poppies--a very long planter. Hopefully it will work like winter wheat so I can eventually grow a crop of good seed without all the health problems. Hope I have a few years yet. Yes, I am kinda nuts when it comes to gardening. But mostly I see it as fun more than survival for now.
I have never tried strawberries, but I know lots of Aerogardeners have. Seems to me that strawberry plants would take up too much space for too little yield, plus they are typically started "bare root" and are sometimes problematic. I use Aerogarden liquid nutrients (made by Miracle Grow). They are easy and already "calibrated doses" for the machines. Any hydroponic nutes would probably work as long as they don't clog up the pump. https://www.amazon.com/AeroGarden-L...1700165020&sprefix=aerogarden+,aps,210&sr=8-6
