To All Our Members ... Especially those that have yet to post.
Why not share what you have growing. We love to see new gardens, new experiments whether a success or a fail. That is how we all learn. Even if you just say Hi! So pull up a seat, pick a board, and post, we really would love to hear from you 
As for our posting members, tell us how your garden are doing. What are you growing now? Any new machines? Let's get caught up!  |

New user here. I recently purchased a sprout and seed starting kit because I'm horrible at starting seeds and need all the help I can get.
Successfully sprouted the following:
Black Vernissage Tomato (just transplanted yesterday)
Fire Yellow Tomato
Thai Pepper
Florida Grove Pepper
Scotch Bon Yellow MOA
Jamaican Red Habanero
Also trying to propagate a cutting from a Hawaiian bird pepper plant. (seems to be working)
The plan WAS to start a few seeds, transfer them to containers and then grow some flowers for the wife.
Now having second thoughts and may keep one chili pepper plant in the sprout and purchase a second Aerogarden for the flowers.

Welcome swampdog. Nice selection of peppers! So I think you need to get the wife an aerogarden. She can grow (or you grow for her) some flowers.  |

Hi Everyone, This is my first post, but have been reading AeroGarden Addicts for a while. I had wanted an AeroGarden for years, then finally got one (a bounty) several months ago. After seeing how well herbs did in it, I got two more AeroGardens. So far I have besides herbs I have only grown lettuce and I am just starting on some tomatoes. I really enjoy reading all the posts from the more experienced gardeners, or really all the posts from everyone. Thanks for all the great information and maybe as I learn more I will have some experiences to share also.

Hello and welcome to the forum kay,
How wonderful that you became addicted so fast. I love having fresh herbs, greens and veggies at my fingertips. No bugs too!
I am glad you find the forum helpful. Please post your gardens, we would love to see them. Also always post any questions you may have. Also take a look at what others are growing, that may help you as well.
I look forward to seeing your progress with what you are growing.

Hi, Shawn and members,
Brand new aerogardner here. I first saw an aerogarden at a friend’s house years ago. Now having the time and interest, I purchased a Harvest Slim that arrived a few days ago! Of course, I’m very excited! I only planted two of the herb pods three days ago and am carefully watching for first shoots. Thanks for the new membership and I hope to learn a lot from all of you!

Dachshunds are the best! They're the only breed my family has ever owned. We love them. |

This is a picture of my first planting. The lettuce is at 22 days and I have already harvested several large leaves. What fun!
(The red thing is my kitchen fire extinguisher.)

That is a really healthy looking garden! Whatever you are doing, you are doing it right!  |

I've been remiss. I was going to do a year update on my farm. But I just had a lot of failures. And I've kind of put the remaining on minimal attention and care.

New to the forum, thanks for the tip Shawn. Been an avid 'user' of herbs in my day to day cooking, and my wife gifted me a Bounty Elite. Pretty cool little machine, and now spotting some growth after only 3 days. Certain that's not news to anyone on here already, lol. Looking forward to experimenting with the herbs over the next couple months and prep for a winter bounty. Also looking into building a larger version if this experiment works out for some peppers. Will be in and out and checking out some of the great tips from the experiences.
Cheers everyone,
Brent

It happens Q. Life gets in the way sometimes. However please when you do start back up, let us know what you grow and how they progress. |

Really exciting. I also have a Bounty elite and love it. It really is a great machine. Good luck with your garden and hope the 'experiment' goes well for you! |
