Aerogarden part 3 - basil, salad and the tea kit 12/07/10

I took pics of the herb garden since the salad has not popped up yet since it was just planted yesterday. Customer service shipped out my free salad greens kit fast. The tomatoes and salad was my fault since I have to use distilled water for their nutrients. The 3 part liquid one I used from another site is fine with bottled water though. I did the basil one since I know someone on here loves basil. This kit has 7 different kinds of basil and all of them are growing.

The other 3 are still boxed up but once I can get the spare bedroom cleaned up I am putting the other 3 in their with some grow shelves for other veggies and greens.


6 of 7 pods have seedlings. the 7th pod is almost popping out a sprout but he should be out by tonight or tomorrow. No pics yet till they are out a bit more.

With today being a slow day I thought what they hay. I might as well update you all with the basil and salad kits. Here is some eye candy for you all to enjoy. Let pray for a fast winter

first up is the basil...

Here is a couple salad pods with sprouts. I planted this on 11/22/10

ok what a difference a day makes. I took individual shots of the basil pods and 1 shot of the salad green deck. Tomatoes are spouting so fast. A lot faster then the ones from 2007 (no pics). Check it out

How many aero gardens do you have growing now. The plants seem to sprout quickly out of those! You are not growing more beans they seemed to do well in those gardens?
