 JK> I figure to keeps these indoors.  They get everything a regular garden
 JK> could give them, without the pests :) It's all done with hydroponics
 JK> and indoor (extensive) plant lights, that's what makes it so great.  No
 JK> dirt, no bugs.

I was thinking more in the line of having them available to eat
earlier... not thinking about transplanting...  :)

 JK> There is a limit of sorts of they kinds of things you

 JK> growing: Genovese basil, thai basil, chives, two kinds of parsley, 4
 JK> kinds of lettuce, 3 kinds of tomatoes (two cherry and I think 1 regular
 JK> tomato) :) 

Nice selection there... ;)

 >>> Are you going to plant peas in one of them....?
 >> No, I don't think so.. not right away at least.

 JK> I probably won't bother.

Unless when the time comes, you just can't let it go after all... (G)
 
 >> I do have a "trellis" with the aerogardens :)  Once the
cherry tomato

 > Give them something to grow on...

 JK> Yes.  The tomato plant flowers are going nuts right now, so I ordered
 JK> a pollinator for them.  Don't forget, no bees in the house Lol

As you said, no bugs... (G)
 
 >> I think these aerogardens are going to be good for things like leaf
 >> lettuce/cherry tomatoes, peppers, green onions...
 > All your basic salad items.... except for the root veggies... :)

 JK> I watched some videos of people's experiences with these aerogardens.
 JK> Some people get the dardest things to grow in them :) :)
 
Tubers, even...?

 >> Seeing how much water the leaf lettuce uses is a trip :)
 > How many quarts a day....?  (G)  Helps you see how much water really is
 > in a leaf of lettuce...  ;)

 JK> When the lettuce starting really growing bigger than a small planting,
 JK> it started sucking up water like crazy :)  Hydroponics, no dirt ... so
 JK> it makes sense :)

Exactly... nothing to mask what's happening... ;)

ttyl      neb

... Don't wreck a sublime chocolate experience by feeling guilty.
