Has anyone grown TASTY varieties in an Aerogarden or Kratky. I really don't want to spend months growing a micro that tastes bitter, and I seem to remember that Tiny Tim fits that description. I'm wondering if the "Heirloom Red" that AG sell is any good, and if House would work in a Kratky jar.

I have Vilma’s started in arogarden there only 2 weeks old got some in dirt to compare I’ll let you know. They are really taisty micros and Laura 5 are well ..I also have a few more varieties growing as well . I won’t list everything but it’s a lot haha

I have found that the first harvest from micro dwarfs is not nearly as good as subsequent ones. Jip and Jenneke have been fairly good for me.

Stitchingmom, I had the same problem with being locked out for a long time, and eventually asked for help. I wish I had asked sooner (just thought it would eventually work again). The mods here are very helpful .

I have not grown any tomatoes in my AeroGarden that tasted any good. The first time I grew the AG yellow and red varieties, then I grew some micros that I also planted in parallel in some pots...the AG ones were terrible, much worse than the ones in the pots, and basically inedible. I'm not growing any this winter, I think a tent would probably be the way to go, although GoDawgs (I think?) did pretty well last year on her table inside with a Maglia Rosa if I recall.

Setec Astronomy, many thanks! That's the conclusion that I'm coming to.

Someone did a comparison between Tiny Tim and Red Heirloom (varieties that are sold in AG pods) and concluded that they are the same thing! Too bad for me, as I had hoped that R.H. tasted ok as it seems to be compact. I was considering trying Red Robin because I know it tastes ok (in soil), but it grew tall under the lights for me.

Perhaps I will just stick to greens in the AG's.
