List of everything grown successfuly in AGs - Please help!

[tzakiel]

I thought this might be a fun idea.  If this has been done before, please stop me and post a link.

What if we created a master list of everything verified (photos of finished plants) successful in AGs?  If you have seen a project that ended up with successful fruit/harvest, post it here!  I will update the list in the original post as people post findings.  If you have a link to the story/photos, that is a plus!

Obviously we don't need to include the kits, because we can assume they all work.  So this list will consist mostly of experiments that worked out well with master gardener or third party sponges/products.

Eventually it would be nice to organize the list into yield amounts or "best results" or something, but we can worry about that later.

I'll start with a short list/links and will miss a lot, be sure to post additions and I'll update this list.

I think this is an excellent idea.  Something similar was started quite a while ago but it wasn't as organized and hasn't been updated well.

See the second sticky under "Your Seeds" "http://www.aerogardengrowers.com/index.php/board,6.0.html".  I'd suggest pm'ing Shane about starting a new sticky in that section.

You will likely have multiple links - for example, a few of the members have grown micro toms and have posted GLOGs.  Another example, there are a couple of successful strawberry grows on this forum as well.

Kudos for the idea and starting the thread - it would be really nice to have a record.

Thanks for the link and the support for the idea.  I realize several people have grown the same things with success, but I think in most cases one link is okay, as it serves as proof that it "can" be done - what this list is all about.  However if there are outstanding things about a particular post, it should certainly be included in the list along with the other links.

Makes sense.

Thank you for gathering the information and links and putting them into one thread. It's very helpful to see a list of proven plants. If i can assist in any way, let me know.

[tzakiel]

In terms of help, I know I have missed some plants in the list.  I'm new to AG and sure that the folks here have seen more things growing than I have.  If you've seen anything else growing in AG's, please post about it... that's all I can think of for now.

[ocarolina]

I have grown snow peas, green beans, hardy hibiscus (had to transplant - too big), bok choi, arugula, for starters - I would have to go check my seeds to see what others I have gotten to grow.

[bab43]

I've pm'ed you with some suggestions for your list. 

[tzakiel]

Thanks for the additions and PMs.  I've added the proven plants to the list.  I've also alphabetized AG's no-grow list.

[bab43]

Kudos for all your work on this!  I'm sure there's others - hopefully members will get in touch about their unique seeds. 

[tzakiel]

It's funny what people request from AG in terms of the kits.  The "do not grow" list on their page states that they frequently receive requests for those seed kits.  Potatoes?  Peaches?  Seriously?  People must not be thinking clearly or have never seen the size of a peach tree or how root vegetables grow.

Just reading this part of the list from the lead post and can't stop ROFLOL
I wonder if anyone has really even considered the idea of growing 'taters  or apples..
They forgot pineapples! Please tell me this is a joke.


- Apples

The beauty of AG is they get complete novices like me into gardening. 
It's no surprise that they receive questions that might seem dumb to people familiar with produce and where it comes from.

Heck, if I could grow broccoli in an AG, I would!

Shawn, perhaps you'd like to meld this thread and http://www.aerogardengrowers.com/index.php?topic=166.new;topicseen#lastPost  ?

Thanks for all you do!
