Wow, what a great idea, HBL, especially for those who live with long, cold winters & would be a wonderful source of fresh herbs & salad greens. It does look so easy to use them which is a good thing. Do the plants grow quickly??

Have not seen these before, either in stores or on TV, but have just Googled them & they are sold here in Australia. Mostly through the internet, it would seem. Now if only Bruiser ate greens.

Many thanks for posting about this subject & for the great pics. Think I shall place this in it own forum.

Many thanks for your wonderful pics, HBL. The plants all look so healthy so I guess they have the nutrient mix just right. These gardens would be a great idea, also, for those who live in high rise apartments or have small-space gardens.

The blue hot peppers look rather interesting & very decorative. Are they as hot as the red ones??? I am afraid I am real chicken when it comes to hot stuff. The strawberries look so scrumptious & it must be wonderful to be able to pick them whenever you want, without any worries about birds or bugs thieving them. The geraniums & double petunias, which I love, look good, as does the Swiss chard which is similar to our silverbeet.

Thanks again, for starting this very interesting topic.

These aerogardens could be great for kids to use too, HollyBerry, or are they too complicated for them?? Well, I guess, if I grew hot peppers I would have to grow them just for their ornamental purposes as neither of us are partial to hot foods, I'm afraid. Our tastes are fairly bland as far as heat goes.

Can fully understand you getting excited with your geranium seed germinating. I am like that whenever I grow from seed. My Brazilian Walking iris seeds were the worst, I had to wait 6 weeks for the first to pop its head up. It was an anxious wait.

That is a great idea for children. It would be a wonderful way to interest them in growing things.

Another thing about the Brazilian Walking iris seed was that I did not know if they were viable or not, as it was a seed pod from one of my own plants. When I Googled them there was nothing to be found about their seed. In fact, some sites said BWIs did not have seed & I would have agreed until I found this one & only seed pod.

Well there is certainly a lot of baloney circulating around the internet that people are believing as facts, so I am not surprised to hear that.


Pretty cool that more of my pink geranium flowers are blooming tonight in the A-G...





Yup, that's a willow catkin in the bottom right corner!


: )

That is soooooo , HBL. What a pretty colour the geranium is. Love it.

No wonder your dwarf weeping pussy willow is doing so well, it is sneaking some of the UV lighting from the geraniums's A-G.


Re the baloney on the web, have even seen some plant nurseries misnaming their plants. Dracaenas are one of the worst to get both mistreated & misnamed. Poor old so-called "Lucky Bamboo" gets a very raw deal. Of course, blogs are the absolute font of misinformation, aren't they?? Mind you, I am probably about this.

It certainly is, HollyBerry. They do look cute at that stage but we are so happy when they grow a bit more, aren't we?? It will be flowering before you know it.

They are all doing so very well, HollyBerry. Spotted a couple of flower buds in the third pic of the double petunias, too, in the top branch in that pic. You are going to have a mass of flowers & berries from these plants. The aero gardens have wonderful results.

I even brought in eagle-eyed Bruiser, HollyBerry & he agrees that they do look like flower buds in the third double petunia pic. Please don't shoot me if I am wrong, though, will you??

Cannot get over just how well everything grows in the aero gardens. They are wonderful. You will most likely get some spectacular results.

They do look gorgeous, HollyBerry. There were some there that are very similar to ones I had. On the left are ones just like our Passion Burgundy, & the lighter pink ones are similar to the "Passion Pink". The cherry & white were called "Giants Victorious" here as well as the darker pink/red & the pale pink & white. The deep violet blue is beautiful, too.

with yours.

Yes, for someone who loves colour as much as you (& I) do it would be a GINORMOUS disappointment, wouldn't it?? Especially as there are such wonderful colours in these plants. The purple & white is very eye-catching.

Hello there HollyBerry Lady. It is wonderful to see you again.

Those are gorgeous double petunias & are very similar in colour & shape to my "Passion Pink" petunias. They are fantastic. Thanks for posting these lovely pics of them & am looking forward to seeing your other surprise petunias.

Thanks, Joy! Nice to see you again too.


HAPPY SPRING!!!


Back soon with more flowers...


: )

Happy spring to you, HollyBerry Lady.

For us, down here in Downunderland, it is autumn, with winter approaching.

Finally getting to view this thread.

Awesome garden! I may try this type gardening one day.

Sure would enjoy home grown lettuce in the winter months!
