AeroGarden Red Heirloom Cherry Tomato Seed Pod Kit for AeroGarden Hydroponic Indoor Garden, 6-Pod

I’m writing this review six months after purchase, and I couldn't be happier with these tomatoes! They took quite a while to grow and ripen, but once the first fruits appeared, the harvest never seemed to stop. Sometimes I feel like they’re endless! The plants are strong and produce sweet, juicy tomatoes that taste amazing. However, I did plant 2 out of 3 pods, and unfortunately, one pod didn’t sprout at all—it seemed like it had no seeds inside. Despite this, the other two made up for it with their impressive growth. Definitely worth it for anyone who enjoys fresh homegrown tomatoes! 🍅🌱

I got six seed pod and used three. I started in fall and now it's almost Xmas, and I'm getting a second bloom of flowers and getting a second batch growing! These are really bushy plants, so DONT OCCUPY ALL THE POD SPACES in ur Aero garden, and remember to trim down to 1 plant per pod... It does take a while to grow and ripe. But if you wait for the perfectly vine ripe tomatoes it's better than candy! If your tomatoes are tasteless, chances are they need more time on the vine. The perfectly ripe tomato pops right off the vine. If u have to pull or cut it off the vine, u probably picked too early. I use an old electric toothbrush to pollinate my flowers since I keep it indoors. Don't plant weak plants with these tomatoes, it can't compete with these tomatoes... (Basil seems to be fine tho)

I planted a few of these in a small AeroGarden unit. They grew very well. If I let them, they would have taken over my kitchen. They produced tomatoes constantly for over a year. They only died when I left for vacation and didn't have anyone add more water. That was intentional: I decided to move my tomato growing to a larger AeroGarden unit and use the small one for herbs and lettuce. I have started anew, with even more space and plants.

As a seasoned AeroGarden gardener, I love to plant new indoor gardens on a regular basis. A few weeks ago, I planted my Heirloom Cherry Tomato garden. I am looking forward to adding fresh cherry tomatoes to my salads in the future. Three of the pods have sprouted (each star represents a plant), and the plants look healthy. The other three pods have yet to sprout. If they do, I will add stars (if possible) and update my review. **UPDATE** 10/24/24: I am updating my review (and adding stars) because the three pods that did sprout are now large, super healthy cherry tomato plants, as pictured. Had all six pods sprouted, the Aerogarden would have become overcrowded. I'm excited to see small yellow flowers on the plants, which indicate that cherry tomatoes are on the way. Those cherry tomatoes will be added to fresh salads. Sadly, Aerogarden has announced that they are closing (you can still order Aerogarden items from the company and on Amazon for a while longer). I will stock up on pods before it's too late. I really enjoy Aerogardening! **UPDATE** 12/31/24: "Resprouting Early Spring" Great news! AeroGarden announced recently that they will be back in the spring of 2025! Additionally, their products will be available on Amazon without interruption! :)

The kit is great for anyone who has a AeroGarden. Both the pods grew quickly and produced a tasty batch of tomatoes. I'm not sure if the plants will produce more than a single harvest of tomatoes, I've only had enough time to grow the single harvest. The kit includes covers for the empty holes you will have in your garden as you can only plant 2 of these per garden. That said, I would recommend only planting 1 per garden as the plant gets fairly large and will need a lot of space. I have a 6 pod garden and I find the spacing to be tight. Also with 2 plants growing at the same time, I found that the low water indicator is going off at least twice a week and looking at the leaves, the once a week feeding isn't enough to keep up with the 2 growing plants. For best results, plant 1 at time. One thing I wish this kit included was an extra bottle of food. Finding the liquid plant food is the hardest part about keeping the AeroGarden plants alive. I've tried other liquid plant food and nothing seems to do the job.
