I've never liked those shallow fruit type containers but some folks do.

How do you like the aerogarden? I've always wondered about those. I didn't realize you had to transplant from it. I thought you'd just grow herbs there in that unit, hydroponically. No???

I haven't started any seeds yet this year. I did order some fresh tomato seeds but haven't received them yet. I have a bunch of old seeds but they're probably mostly too old to use.

I just set up a couple of lights/ shelves tonight to make sure the lights are still good.

I like the aerogarden. It does what it says. A tiny bit $$ but I had mint growing at work for a couple years until I was out for a month and no one watered my aerogarden for me! I have the nine pod? I think and the three pod. Both units offer an accessory which basically lets you start seedlings. Not the most efficient thing, I'd rather sow in a seed tray and pluck out but since the aerogarden wasn't being used... my eggplants sprouted fine in it. I also did the same for the 3 pod but now that I have basil growing, I've moved it into the three pod permanently and will grow it hydroponically. I'll likely start annual flowers in the 50 pod seed starter unit as well as a couple rosemary cuttings.

I have lights coming today so I can move the seedlings that I've pricked out. I need space! LOL

Don't be too sure about those seeds not being viable. I thought the same with my eggplants that I've had for 3 years? And they just sprouted 7 out of 10 and i wouldn't be surprised if they all sprout. I only needed 4... Whistling I was worried about germination rate.
