Has anyone grown Nasturtiums in their aerogardens? Any tips? I'm planning to give a few a try soon, and was looking for any advice you may have.
Thanks!

I did try them. I had wonderful greenery but no flowers. Then they started to yellow. And if I remember they started to grow too high for the Harvest. Now.. it could have been the variety I had. Maybe I gave it too much or too little nutes. I really can not remember. I did these two years ago and it may have been one of the few first flowers I grew. You can see the Aloha Mix I grew here. Please keep us posted on what you decide and show us some pictures. |

I bought nasturtium seeds and planned to plant them in the Bounty this spring. But then I did an image search. The pictures looked like the plant would probably sprawl, so I decided not to plant them.
Good luck whatever you decide.  |

Got a pod in my bounty which I decided to reclaim from my fairy eggplant. (it was time). We'll see what happens!

Good luck whatever you decide. It will, big time because it is a vine. You have to train them on a trellis or around the AG on a table or something just like any vine plant. |

I've got one started in apparently what is going to become my vining Aerogarden. I've also got some cucumbers, celery and a squash in it. The cucumbers are going GREAT. The rest, not so well. The nasturtiums are kinda puny. But they're doing their thing.

Thanks for the update on how things are going for you!  |

I’m currently soaking some nasturtium seeds to go in my lettuce farm. Since it is raised off the ground quite a bit,I am hoping it trails over and down. It would be wonderful in salads.
