Hi all, I'm pretty new here and have a flourishing garden of lettuces going on at 4 weeks now. I have a failed attempt at strawberries which I pulled yesterday and have replaced them with tomatoes. I have some golden toms coming Friday and I'll replace one of my red toms with a yellow tom.
My lettuces on the right and tomatoes on the left there.
This is tomatoes on day 2.
Have fun cuz I sure am.  |

I believe I'm on week one (7 days in.), with my tomatoes. The red cherries are just sprouting there in the 3rd slot. I see nothing at all for my yellow tomatoes yet but they are a couple three days behind.

Update: Here we are again on day 14 this time. Nutes added in both the toms and the lettuces. A pic says a thousand words so,
I believe I'm going to have a real challenge with these two plants in an AG Sprout especially after watching this video.

Well, these are doing just great! It's now day 21 and it looks like I might get a few toms in the not too distant future here.
I'm very happy with these plants so far. Really looking forward to some ripe tomatoes for a change.

Looks like my last post and update for a while so here is day 28 and these tomato plants are fantastic. Growing like weeds! I did a complete water dump and refill with tap water this time then added nutes. Hopefully, tap water will be OK. I'd hate to lose them now.
I'm very pleased with these AeroGardens.
Ha, I may have tomatoes by the time I get back.

an easy way to move them is to take them out of the machine and wrap the pod in a sopping wet paper towel and then put Saran Wrap or foil around it to keep them wet. Then you don't have to worry about moving a machine with water in it. You can then do a fresh fill and feed at your new place. Healthy plants!

Good idea, Corinne.  Although it won't take 5 minutes to move them. 
I have tons of counter space in my new apt now so I'll be setting them up on the counter top. This will also give these plants plenty of room to spread out and not drop tomatoes on the floor.  |

I am like that to @corinne. And I too want another Bounty. I should have gotten one months ago when I found that cheap priced one. Kicking myself in the a$$ for not. Then that Ultra was also cheap and I passed up on it. But like you I need more outlets and more rooms LOL....
I have the perfect spot for a Tall Farm that would take the spot of two Bountys BUT for several reasons I will not get one. Pricing, more difficult to do D&R's and the weight of them alone. I love the Bounty if needed I can move just one machine or both.

Are you the one who turned the closet into an AG space,Shawn, or was it MaryL? I got a kick out of that.Use every available space.

It was Mary. I would have done that in my Spare room but there are too many wires in there going into the crawl for all the electronic connections here. Plus when my mother comes and stays she packs that closet.

Today is day 35. With all this packing and stuff I'm doing, I'm not sure I'll get any pix posted. I will say that these babies are growing nicely. I'm very happy with the results so far. I may move the yellow toms over into the new Harvest and maybe grow some herbs as well.

I found 3 yellow flowers growing on my mighty mini cherry tomatoes this morning!   Time to pollinate.
Can someone tell me how long it'll be before I see a tomato after these flowers start appearing?
