AeroGarden Salsa Garden Seed Pod Kit

Most all of them germinated and the ones that did, were excellent. The jalapeños are some of the hotter ones that I've tried and the tomatoes were tasty too although I prefer the yellow ones.

Love my AeroGarden. Fun and easy to use. The herbs are the best, tomato’s take a long time, plants get big but slow to grow and not to many tomato’s. I have enjoyed growing the herbs the most as they last a long time and it’s great to cut fresh herbs when cooking.

I have peppers and tomatoes growing right now! Out of all of the pods I've ever received, only one tomato has refused to germinate. My plants are healthy and fruitful. The AeroGarden site has great recommendations for pollinating and caring for the plants. I only plant one tomato and one jalapeño at a time in my AeroGarden Bounty (9 spaces). I would recommend the spacers AeroGarden sells to cover the empty pod spaces. I love checking my plants each day to watch the flowers and keep track of all of the teeny tiny little tomatoes that are starting to grow!

I bought this to replace the 2 pods that didn't come up with the original kit that came with the AeroGarden (Cilantro and one of the two basils). Both the tomato and jalapeno plants are thriving and growing quickly. There isn't anything to harvest yet, it's only been about six weeks, but it looks like everything will work fine. We love our AeroGarden, which I bought on a whim for a Christmas present for my mom and dad after receiving an email from Amazon advertising it at a really good price. They love theirs too. This thing is fun and it works great. We have been harvesting chives, dill, and mint for weeks. The only downside is a bit of noise made by the pump that circulates the water, but we have gotten used to it, and now I kind of find it to be soothing.The reason I only give this kit 4 stars is that there are actually only 4 growing pods in it and I kind of expected there to be 7 as was the case with the original kit that came with the unit. I've never been much of a gardener, but this product has shown me the fun that can be had as well as the great fresh herbs that enhance the flavor of lots of foods!Awesome product!

UPDATE**** 05/02/2016Finally red tomatoes and peppers! I planted these around February 12th 2016. Everything seems to be producing really abundant. 1 of my tomato plants is a little behind the other plants but it is still producing. I have emptied out the water every other nutrient cycle. I use the sink sprayer to spray onto the roots. I have continuously pruned the plants to which may make the difference on the pepper plant holding more peppers at a time.The plants sprouted in no time! I have been pruning them accordingly and have been pollinating as instructed. My tomatoes for whatever reason have been on the vine what seems like a month now but still haven't turned red. I planted these in the middle of February 2016. The peppers just got their first blossoms this morning which I will add another photo of those to update when I can. I can't wait to try the the tomatoes and peppers! They smell good already.

3 cherry tomato plants have broken thru & 1 jalapeño! Excited!

About half the pods grow to full-sized plants. Some don’t sprout at all and others sprout but then die off (usually due, I assume, to a white mold that grows on the base of the pod). This has been my experience with about three purchases of sets of pods so far. I know that there is some sort of guarantee but I don’t have the time to figure out how to send back pods and haggle over partial reimbursement.

These are great, they grew fast and furious in our aerogarden, but they were getting really high before any tomato even started to grow, so the leaves were getting burned by the grow light. The plant is healthy so we decided to take it out and plant in soil. There were some initial shock for the plant going from water to soil, but with some loving care it is still thriving and so many tomatoes! The pictures are of the plant after growing in soil in a pot for about a month, and we kept it indoors in direct sunlight.
