Are you going to grow all 6 plants in that one AG or distribute them to others as well? Excited to follow.

I am planning to start them all in the Aerogarden. If they get too crowded. I will transplant a couple of them to soil and put them in my window.
I want them ALL in my living room!

I am so jealous! I purchased a 9 pod of the Cascade and stuck the sponges in my Classic 6 Starter.. They grew white mold on top of EVERY pod and ..now this creeped me out, sher...I lifted the pods and each one was COVERED with a white beard of fuzz.The entire length of the pods had long white fuzz all over like a fiber. I am itching just thinking of it. It was the worst AG experience I have ever had. This happened only last week.
Needless to say , that entire machine was soaped,bleached, boiled and everything else I could think of, and the area sanitized as if it had Covid 19.
Now I have some Prolific Zinnias starting in it., but am keeping a close watch. But what I really wanted was a Cascading Petunia to grow a hanger outside. Sad.

Oh, Corinne! That gives me the creeps! I can't imagine looking into an Aerogarden and seeing that! It would have scared me, too!
I hope your zinnias help make up for it. I have some zinnias in my seed starter, too. Our season is long enough that I should have plenty of time to enjoy them outdoors.
Here's hoping you never get such a nasty surprise ever again!  |

All of the petunias were trapped beneath the pod covers and couldn't get out. So I pushed the pods up from the bottom to free them. I lost a few leaves, but it looks like I will still have plenty of plants to select the best from.

They are starting to make little buds now.
I had to transplant one so I could get to the water hole. They were way too crowded.

You make me feel like I am finally over my abysmal flower failure start. Thank you, Corinne.

I am eager for mine to zoom into life like yours, sher. I am just beginning to see a faint sign of germination.

Although it doesn't show well in the picture, I am seeing yellow chlorosis in the new leaves. I gave the plants an extra ml of nutrients. I am thinking of mixing up a weak nutrient solution and also trying foliar feeding.
Anyway, the flowers delight me!
