 JK> Life gets busy sometimes .. as we all know :)

True...  And bodies inexplicably decide that the least little thing can
be too strenuous, and tire one out... ;)

So, rather flexible... and a good jump start on the season for whatever
you do plant in it... :)
 
 NB>> Are you going to plant peas in one of them....?
 JK> No, I don't think so.. not right away at least. 

Besides, you can plant them outside in another month or so... without
too much effort...  :)

 JK> I do have a "trellis" with the aerogardens :)  Once the cherry tomato
 JK> plants get going, I'll connect them. 

Give them something to grow on...

 JK> I think these aerogardens are going to be good for things like leaf
 JK> lettuce/cherry tomatoes, peppers, green onions...

All your basic salad items.... except for the root veggies... :)

 JK> 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...  ;)
