Beat the Heat, Grow Indoors: An AeroGarden Story
Summer has turned up the heat, but your plants do not need to suffer! Grow inside! In this blog, learn about the benefits of summer growing with AeroGarden!
As temperatures rise and the scorching heat of late summer approaches, many gardeners feel the "heat" in finding solutions other than gardening outside. Not every plant does well in direct sun, like delicate leafy greens; however, AeroGarden's hydroponic gardens provide an indoor solution that helps people grow what they want year-round.
This blog post will highlight the best crops that thrive in indoor environments, ensuring you get all fresh, nutritious produce.
No Summertime Sadness: Grow Through the Hot Hot Heat!
To keep Farmers Market favorites happening through the hotter months of July and August, look to grow with AeroGarden and enjoy some of these sun-sensitive produce favorites:
Mixed Romaine and Mixed Kale: Heat, Please Don't Kale Our Vibe!
Lettuces and salad greens are popular early spring produce that many of us like to enjoy through summer. Unfortunately, these do not do well outside during the hotter months. They also have a very short shelf life!
With AeroGarden, you can still enjoy a variety of leafy greens indoors, such as Mixed Romaine and Kale. These lettuce greens are packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A and K, and are ideal for creating delicious salads or adding a healthy touch to your meals.
Heirloom Salad Greens: Greens Protected Not Scorched
Like Kale and Romaine lettuces, AeroGarden allows you to grow heirloom salad greens like SPK (Spinach, Purslane, and Komatsuna) indoors. This trio of greens offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures while providing health benefits and essential daily vitamins. Whether you're a fan of delicate Spinach, tangy Purslane, or the mild yet nutritious Komatsuna, you can enjoy these flavorful greens all summer long, regardless of the outdoor weather.
Custom Salad Kit: Why Stop at the Classic Greens, Grow More!

Swiss Chard's colorful stalks and vitamin-rich leaves, Dinosaur Kale's hearty texture, and Arugula's peppery taste will bring a delightful twist to your salads and culinary creations.
Custom Flower Kit: Flower Power Through Summer
