My new Harvest project. This is a tiny heading lettuce. It might be too big for all six pods in the Harvest, but I thought I would give it a try. Seeds: Tom Thumb Lettuce from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds Sponges: AG Nutes: AG   In the Harvest:  |

I have wanted to plant those before because they are so cute.
Looking forward to feedback on the taste!

These are from May 2nd (thought I had updated here...) I'll save you the suspense, the one that hasn't sprouted here, didn't!   |

I'm always amazed at how quickly things grow in the Aerogarden! I'm waiting for these to "head"  |

I am surprised by how little deck space they need. They seem very Aerogarden friendly.

They aren't forming heads... I will start harvesting some from here soon. We are eating off my Farm mixed greens right now.  |

I meant to come back to this...
It is too big for a Harvest with six plants. With that said, I didn't come cut and comeback, I was trying to harvest the mini-heads.
It had a good flavor.
I have moved the follow up planting to a bigger aeroponic garden and I'm staggering the plantings by two weeks. Instead of an aerogarden I'm using a Root Farm garden (5 gallons of water with 4 plants). I planted the second pot today. I should be harvesting the first plant in a month!

These never really did head. I'll keep them in my rotation but I'll use them like my other lettuces.
