SNOWBIRD PEAS from burpee
Excellent fun project for a harvest or tall machine.
One suggestion is to add the seed loosely to the sponge. In other words, do not push the seed way down inside so that the plant has to fight its way through the compact sponge.

Mini Munch Cukes
Snacking cuke which is parthenocarpic, or self pollinating.
Flavorful, crisp,very very juicy and the skin is tender.
1 plant would easily fit in a tall machine.
Harvest is abundant.
I kept the nutes down to 4ml,though.
Reputable vendor.

Would you happen to have another Mini Munch vendor recommendation?  I tried to order from Totally Tomatoes, and I guess they use Jung Seeds as a vendor.  I received an e-mail from Jung Seeds that said their seed crop was a failure, so they were unable to send the Mini Munch seeds.  :(

I would like to grow the bush-style, self-pollinating mini cukes.  So if anyone can recommend either another variety that was successful in the AG or another reputable vendor for Mini Munch, I'd appreciate the advice!

Thanks!

mariaj68 , I have bought from Territorial seeds before. Here is their mini munch listing.

I have also attempted !ittle Leaf Arkansas parthenocarpic cucumbers. Unfortunately, I have not done well growing any cucumbers indoors.

Others have had success with Diva.

Try a cucumber search here. Some posts list their seed sources.

As Sher stated I would try Territorial.   I would offer you some of mine but they are over a year old seeds.

I'm trying Utah celery and Parade Green Onions for the first time. Started them July 21, 2022. They are taking awhile but looking good so far.

I have not grown those.  But if they are looking good, great!  BTW, welcome!

New site member here- I’ve seen some reply threads where people brainstorm about ideas for zucchini and squash in the Aerogarden, and I have a couple varieties I think would work well. The Ferry Morse Early Prolific Heirloom Summer squash is a yellow squash that is a bush-type instead of vining and is designed for containers. I started one in my Sprout and moved it to a container and it certainly lives up to its early prolific name, but has not spread out and is growing leaf vertically with no vining behavior. The seed packet says ready to harvest in 50 days and I believe that as at 30 days I have dozens of flowers. The Fordhook Zucchini from Burpee (and I think also from some other sources) is also designed for containers and is bush-type, and I started one of those in my Sprout and moved it to a container as well. It is growing in a similar structure to the Early Prolific, albeit much more slowly.

I moved both of these to containers because I am planning on growing them outdoors this summer, but they may be able to live comfortably in a Farm or Bounty, or maybe even Harvest if it was the only thing planted. The roots on the Earl Prolific seedling were insane by the time the first set of true leaves were developing as well and I had to move it out of the Sprout less than a week post-germination.

Thanks for those suggestions, kj! I want to try squash soon, but am currently fed up with managing vines in my Farms. AGs are best when you let them do the work, by providing light and nutrient nags!
