You mean like this?

Once I get to the pet store, I’ll have the stuff for a DIY version. I have the perfect window.

Yeah, sorta.

I use regular pots w/dirt in a South-facing bay window and I have 3 AeroGardens going. I do not particularly recommend hydro lettuce, as it tends to be limp, so my new grow will be in containers w/dirt. I have a new plastic greenhouse to extend the seasons and will use it as a cold frame, come March.

Right now, I am growing Baby Bok Choi (Toy Choi) in a short AeroGarden. It is at the 3 leaf stage, so no report, yet. Burpee has new container seeds: peas-in-a-pot, spacemaster cukes, a couple of red sweet peppers (I save seeds for this) and a new tomato variety: Terrano. Just planted the little cherry stuffer peppers in a tall AeroGarden and one is up, but they have a long germination period. Cukes next after the Toy Choi is harvested and I think I’ll do the container peas in dirt in the window as soon as the freeze passes.

If you go the windowfarm route, please post to the Garden Thread. I’m interested, but am wondering about algae in the water.
