I love this! I have 2 aerogarden harvests that I just love. I grow greens all year in them. I want to try one of these with cucumbers because I’m pretty sure they hate me. I have yet to get them to grow. But I bet a parthnocarpic variety would do great indoors in one of these!
Jerra, how do you prepare your garden for tropical storms or hurricanes if you have plants heavily growing on trellises or in towers that are not on rollers or easy to move. What do you do with them?
Hi. This comment inspired me to hurry up and make a video showing how I prep my garden for hurricanes. Please watch here: ua-cam.com/video/agjGIzzvd3E/v-deo.html Stay safe!
@@JerrasGarden thank you soooo much! I’ll have to watch it when I get home. I love all the information you have stored in your brain and that you share it with us. I recently made a sizable order from you, seeds and plants. Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking when I put them out and forgot that I would be gone for several days for my son’s wedding. The asparagus is still alive though.😃. I’ll have to look at my order and see what I destroyed and order more. So glad to have you in our zone and selling seeds and plants.
I was wondering about that too. I live in Hawaii, so maybe it's more expensive to ship it out here , but it these planters seem to cost about 100 dollars. Whether or not the planter is a worthwhile investment probably depends on how long it lasts. I realize all the components are plastic / ( thin metal maybe ) , but unless you have a naughty cat that likes to crawl on stuff f and destroy it ,I'm guessing the planter could last many seasons making it well worth the hundred dollars. It costs at least six to ten dollars here in Hawaii for a small container of organic ( or even non organic ) cherry tomatoes at the supermarket. That's ridiculous even if you're a wealthy person ( which I am not ) . Then you have to factor in all the resources ( and environmental damage ) it takes to ship those tomatoes to a supermarket . Then there's the fact that those tomatoes don't even taste one half as good as a cherry tomato one grows in your home that is picked at the apex of ripeness and nutritiousness. So whether or not this planter is a good investment depends on you and your value system. So much of what would need to be quantified to see whether or not this is a good investment is hard to quantify. I know you asked this lady the question , not me , but I thought the same thing too and those are my thoughts. My advice to you would be to Go crazy and spend the hundred dollars . Life is short and fresh tomato cherries picked off the vine are priceless. 😊
Hi Jerra! I’d love some videos about growing flowers in your climate. I want to grow some cut flowers and dahlias are my fave….but I live in Houston so I’m afraid our hot and humid climate won’t support their growth. Any tips?
Hi. I have grown dahlias in my zone 10A garden so you can too in Houston. There are some varieties that do better in hot climates. I plant mine as soon as my frost date has passed. They will grown, bloom, and then die when summer comes around. You can find a list of recommended heat tolerant dahlias from the Dahlia Society of Georgia. I'll link to the PDF here: www.dahliasocietyofgeorgia.com/downloads/Heat%20Tolerant%20Dahlias_Alphabetical.pdf
I want to grow sum of my plants inside but I mentioned bfor I don't want the pests. I don't no how to go about preventing them. If u can make a video on that it would be helpful.
Plants grown indoors are not going to get as many pests and diseases as outdoors stuff. The only real concern I had was gnats, because they do like to infect soils of plants grown indoors. Just keep the soil surface dry, so bottom watering helps a lot.
Have you tried this planter outside ? I would think it would be great for people that want to grow cherry tomatoes on a porch or patio , but who also travel and may not be home everyday to water. PS. Never mind the question. I Googled Vego self watering tomato planter and saw that they also have one made for patios that can be rolled in and out of a door ( for inclement weather or hurricanes like u just had ). Thanks for the review . The planter is a little pricey , but over the space of a few years Im guessing its well worth the 100 dollars.

Yes a parthenocarpic variety would be best for growing indoors

Thank you for this video
You're very welcome

What is the tomato output vs initial and ongoing expenses?
