Hi writersblock, Well, that's a hard one to answer. During the winter I wanted to grow strawberries in the Tower Garden since all of the other winter vegetables I planted were in the garden where they would have more space. I used the Tower Garden tonics all winter with poor results. The strawberries developed brown spots as they ripened. I did converse with a member of the hydroponics forum who customized a special strawberry blend formula for me. For the last water change I used this custom blend. Unfortunately I did not follow his mixing instructions causing the fertilizers to not be dissolved properly. That caused terrible damage to the flowers and fruits. The plants did recover but by then it was time to remove the plants to replant for spring plants. I've got seedling greens in it right now using the TG A & B tonics. Shortly after my TG mishap I mixed the same strawberry fertilizer formula correctly. Then I put it in five Earthbox reservoirs containing other strawberry plants. They are growing very well with no brown spots on the fruits. So, I guess I have to say that I didn't start early enough to say that it works for strawberries grown hydroponically. I will be trying the base fertilizer formula for the greens after I practice mixing the ingredients properly. It's not as simple as mixing up a batch of Miracle Gro. :) Christine

Mitch- Congrats on your blooms, you must be excited being this is your first hoya bloom and you just got it(i saw on your other post). I also ordered this hoya from the same grower as you (of course I couldn't order just one). They will be mailed out tomorrow and arrive Thursday. I can't wait!!! shanna

I just finished a trade with Christine and she sent my plant right away. I recieved It in GREAT shape and VERY healthy!!!! I will trade with her again in the future. VERY friendly, courteous, fast delivery, and I HIGHLY recommend her to everyone. AAAAAAAAA+++++++++ THANK-YOU!!!! Sunshine98 in Texas

Sooz, I only got a picture while it was freezing, I sent that stuff home with Ashley because it's sure not allowed on MY diet. Later, though, for some holiday or another, because I have that stash of cherries in the freezer..... OK, enough coffee and enough fiddling around, I have gardening to do while it's still only in the 80s. Tomorrow it's back above 90. It's not supposed to be above 90 here in Michigan, that's why I live here. I hate heat! Annie
