Back on October 9, 2023 I planted my current crop of cherry tomatoes in my Aerogarden hydroponic grower. And today I began to harvest the produce. Some delicious, ripe tomatoes are included in the sack lunch I take to work today. And plenty more will soon be ready. With record cold weather this past week, this is a nice little reminder of the rhythm of life, and warm Summer weather soon to come.
It was 24 days ago that I began the current crop in my Aerogarden Bounty grower. As of today, the Mega Cherry Tomatoes are flourishing. I've done the first pruning, so that they will grow dense and compact for maximum yield. First harvest of tomatoes still a little more than two months away, meaning I should be enjoying fresh vegetables in January, the depths of winter.
I've just re-set my venerable, trusty old Aerogarden Bounty indoor hydroponic garden. For the past several months, I have used the Aerogarden to grow a large crop of jalapeno peppers. The harvest throughout the summer has been enough for me to cook several different dishes, and also to pickle and can seven pints of sliced peppers. But now that has come to an end, the garden has been emptied and cleaned, and is now beginning a crop of cherry tomatoes. I look forward to harvesting these in the deepest, darkest parts of winter. Nothing like fresh, home-grown produce!
