They’re in my Farm Plus for stronger light. I started them in my Harvest. They’re about 4-5 inches tall. I have to raise the light almost every day they’re growing well. I plan on putting them in my Earthbox on my deck, it’s my first time using an Earthbox so I’m new to all this. I’ve got 5 plants so I’ll plan them in my Solo cups tomorrow and hope for the best. I’m going to put them back under my Farm Plus lights until they’re ready to put in my EB. Hopefully by then I can get out to buy some potting soil for my EB. thanks for your help. All information and suggest are greatly appreciated. Lana You may find this valuable for all your EB needs after they leave the Aerogardens. |

Thank you. For some reason, I thought that forum had shut down but, obviously not. |

Well my trash barrel was loaded with over a dozen bitten and half eaten ripe red toms this week.
However, having their tummies filled, the critters decided to share and leave me some to pick for my own enjoyment this weekend... |

There is nothing so satisfying as eating what you have grown yourself, whether it be a bushel of potatoes or peppers outside, or simple herbs from the little aerogarden Sprout!
My toms got off to a great start in the Garden Starter, then grew wonderfully and hardened off in small pots. Then they went outside to the Earth Boxes and the critters wreaked havoc chewing off the face of entire toms, ripened and green ones too.It has been a dry, hot summer and the juice must have been a great find for them at night.
I tried soap, carolina reaper, and finally was gifted 2 brand new super solar repellers which allowed me to eat toms in salads. Well today I harvested more and got to cooking. I am now making a spaghetti sauce from my own garden toms and am going to settle in for pasta later tonight.
The weather was very hot this year and that made the skins rather thick, but the flesh of this particular variety is very very sweet. I blanched the toms this afternoon and peeled them and they were good to go! I added garlic,mixed spices,salt parsley, onion,red pepper, carrots,(only because they were staring me in the face when I opened the fridge)), a bit of olive oil, a bit of honey,some 'impossible' burger sauteed with green onions and some paste to thicken,and here it is simmering away!Although I did not strain out the seeds, those white bits are the chopped garlic, not the seeds.
I am not a culinary queen,but it is going to be the best sauce in the world..because I grew the tomatoes.

Spaghetti sauce from your own tomatoes! Looks heavenly! What an accomplishment!
I wonder what the odds for fishing an invitation for leftovers might be ?  |

Looks wonderful! I love making my own sauce (but from store bought). My thumbs are not green to grow outside as my failed venture went LOL
Can I come for leftovers?

Today I did another harvest and ended 1 of the 4 plants. I feel sad that I won;t be harvesting next year. I ordered a few more stands for my Earth Boxes to keep them away from the ground and will have BEANS, CONTAINER PEPPERS and FLOWERS and perhaps another bushy vegetable for next year. ANYONE KNOW OF A BUSHY TYPE HEAT TOLERANT VEGETABLE(NO HERBS) THAT COULD GROW UP OFF THE GROUND FOR 2021 ? |
