I am very excited! My first cherry tomatoes from my Aerogarden unit. With the current tomato scare (and rightfully so!), I can safe eating my home grown tomatoes that are hydroponically grown right in my home office! How cool is that?
I am absolutely jealous! Our classic aerogarden has tomato plants, and at 14 weeks all we have are a few flowers and leaves turning brown around the edges. We have done EVERYTHING according to the book. Now the are as high as the light and yielding not one tomato. Any idea what we can do? teresa_anawim
Well, your tomatoes look better than mine does. I tried my luck at growing some tomatoes (because of the scare) and my poor plants just would not make it. I tried watering them, and feeding them an they just did not do anything. I guess I just want get any tomatoes this summer.
Dear Anonymous, I too have been disappointed with the yield of my tomato plants. When I took this picture I had a dozen fruits developing and then that seem to be it! Now I have lovely tall green plants but no further flowers. I am thinking that the variety I choose just wasn't suited for this application. The "sister" plants from the same batch that are planted in my outdoor garden are a lot smaller in size but have a lot of flowers on them, so will see how they do! Thanks for your comment. Joyce
Sorry to hear that you are all having some problems with growing the tomatoes. We have been growing the salad greens kit and had some great success, now we are growing the romaine seed kit.
Here's a couple of questions about your AeroGarden growing..
(1) Are you using tap water for watering your AeroGarden? (2) Have you done any trimming of the tomato plants? (3) If you plants are failing, contact AeroGrow. They could possibly replace your plants.
Hey Sean, Thanks for your note. No need to contact AeroGrow as these were not a seed kit but a different variety of tomatoes. And yes, to tap water and trimming, LOL. Will try again this winter with the "sanctioned" tomato seed kit and should be fine.
