    Aerogarden Progress Week 4

    Posted by Pyrrh on 14th May 2010

    (Check out Week 0 for tips on planting and a list of suggested supplies and suppliers.) The vegetable garden is definitely low on nutrients, hence the yellow leaves. I think my nutrients are too old – they’ve gotten a bit sticky and wet in the humidity. I’ve kept them in an airtight container for the [...]

    Aerogarden Progress Week 3

    Posted by Pyrrh on 7th May 2010

    (Check out Week 0 for tips on planting and a list of suggested supplies and suppliers.) The vegetable garden looks like it is low on nutrients, but they aren’t due for food until next week. I’ll see if they perk up. The baby cucumber is still slow. I cut the eggplant and marble peppers down [...]

    Aerogarden Progress Week 2

    Posted by Pyrrh on 30th April 2010

    (Check out Week 0 for tips on planting and a list of suggested supplies and suppliers.) Quite a bit of new seedlings coming up this week! The baby cucumber is a slow start compared to the eggplant. It looks like I may have some issues with three of the herb garden seeds, as well as [...]

    Aerogarden Progress Week 1

    Posted by Pyrrh on 23rd April 2010

    (Check out Week 0 for tips on planting and a list of suggested supplies and suppliers.) There still isn’t much to see yet. Only the seedlings needed watering – some of them shot up fast! And I don’t feed them for another week. My vegetable garden, with baby cucumbers (back left), eggplant (back right), and [...]

    Aerogarden Progress Week 0 – Planting

    Posted by Pyrrh on 16th April 2010

I love them so much that I buy something new every couple of years, and now have three Aerogardens that enable me to always have something fresh from the garden all year long. When I got my first Aerogarden, there was nothing available [...]
