Tomato Sprouts

By pbarnett

I recently got an Aerogarden when Williams-Sonoma had a sale, because I was intrigued by them, and wanted fresh basil in the winter. The freezer is full of pesto, but it’s not the same. The Aerogarden is a hydroponic system with lights, timer, and a pump that sends water and nutrients through the planting pods prepared with seeds.. It came with herb pods. However, I was sidetracked by the discovery of the Master Gardening set, which allows you to use your own seeds. It was time to start the tomatoes, anyway. So my Aerogarden is now planted with Brandy Boy, Sungold, Cherokee Purple and Mortgage Lifter tomato sprouts. They were started February 2. This will be an interesting experience, as these are all big indeterminates.
