Weekend Gardening: Cherry Tomato Plants

[Zwielicht]

I try to take some time to garden a few times each week.

So, I have this Aerogarden unit that I got a long time ago. In case you don't know what that is, it's a hydroponics growing system.

That Aerogarden company sells these "grow pods" that they charge a lot for, but I'll be honest, I can't afford those these days! The Aerogarden had just been sitting in my kitchen unused for over a year because of that, but I set it back up recently because my main cherry tomato plant started producing.

I took some of the seeds out of one of the cherry tomatoes, 3D printed my own grow pods, got a bit of soil, and put the seeds in my 3D-printed grow pods.

These were the results!

(One is missing because I took this photo after I planted one of them in my garden)​

Here's a photo of the grow pod taken out:

Finally, here's the one I planted in my garden:

I had some cherry tomato plants but they took some hits during a few stormy days we had here in the last couple of months, together with some really cool peppers I received.

The tomatoes survived but they're not as good they were. Peppers survived too but are at a far worse condition.
