Since Hengis brought it up , I wanted to pull together some results of experiments on growing tomatoes and peppers, in self-watering containers and lights indoors, vs. in the Aerogarden. Commentary in next post - this is just the data collected to look at.
Thursday I put my first Early Girl tomato, now aged 4 weeks, out in its Kozy Coat. I'd planned to do that a little later this year than last, but hey, it worked well last year, and this year's warmer.
This isn't really the LED vs CFL experiment anymore. Continued explorations, I guess, based on what I learned doing the experiment, but with the goal of harvesting them. These plants began life in the Test 2: Tomato & Pepper, LED triband vs. CFL spotlight.
I've decided on a new experiment for my Deluxe. I don't care (much) about the one carmen pepper still in there - if it goes into production, I'll have five fruiting pepper plants, three of them carmens. I would rather have a tomato supply in fall. And the latest Aerogarden catalog mentioned yet again, the possibility of bringing clones of your favorite tomato plants indoors.
