Will this be able to grow outside during summer,100 degrees or so in cali....Or would it be better if I grew it inside on a window?

If you are using an Aerogarden system, it doesn't need to be near a window at all. When it gets hot, you may need to add water a couple of times a week, maybe every other day. Otherwise just leave it on a table or countertop where you have a plugin. The directions are simple for the system but I recommend that you read them.

It would be better inside near a window or in a fully shaded spot outdoors. You will need to watch the water level it will need to be filled every couple days or the plants will dry up and the Aero-Grow will probably manfunction mechanically if it dries out.

This is a seed kit for a Miracle-Gro AeroGarden, an indoor hydroponic gardening unit;...it is NOT for outdoor planting. The electricity-dependent, plug-in Aerogardens are a way to deliver light, nutrients and oxygenation to water-grown plants. Therefore, the plants are soil and pest-free, and they can be grown in ALL seasons.BTW: As in the past, the herbs from the kit are growing like crazy in my AeroGarden.

I have the 2' model which I often use during the winter months, but I live in the California Bay Area; the temperature rarely gets to 35-40F. The heated mat is supposed to provide warmth (to help sprout seeds) to 20F above ambient. You may need to provide additional heat in your garage depending on how cold it gets outside.

Don't know about Cal. weather, however, I planted seeds 7 month ago, and very slow growth, still no sprouts. Used the Grow Box system here in south Fla. Out of 15 seeds planted, only 3 sprouted. Easier to buy frozen when need of sprouts comes along. Too bad, I was disappointed with results.

I grow mine inside as they are sensitive to extremes. The only place you can grow them outside on the mainland is selected spots in California near the coast. They like it between 60 and 80 degrees I believe. You won't get many berries out of put grown plants though, but they do flower and supposedly smell nice. Mine are still very young and have not flowered.

Yes this is not cold hardy. So if you reach the 30's, take it in. Mine have grown all winter in a sunny window quite well.

So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky. The tree is very small and won't bear fruit for awhile (couple years even) but it seems healthy and happy. (pictures can be deceiving) In the cold months keep it inside near a window with lots of light and warmth and keep it watered so it doesn't dry out. When it's warmer like now, I have mine on my enclosed front porch. Makes for almost a greenhouse when it's very warm, and I think it really loves that! I've noticed some new leaves growing already!! Good luck if you decide to go with it. I would say it's worth the try! So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky.

One of the plants I recieved was less than a pinky size and died....the other one is kept inside the house by a window ...I'm assuming it will fair well in the summer as it will be hot...we shall see if this will survive...as long as it's kept in a pot and brought in during chilly weather it will survive....

It grows great in California..I have it only on pathways in a shadier side of the yard..It really looks great between bricks and planting areas..Good stuff.

I planted in a place where it gets no sun. It has leaves but is still only about 12 inches high, so it's growing very slowly. I'm giving it one more summer before I move it.

Yes, I have personally grown this Kale in The Dalles, OR where summertime heat often exceecs 100 degrees. I now successfully grow it in Gladstone, OR where the winter time temp gets around 0 degrees. Every type of Kale that I have grown thrives in just about any climate.

Absolutely they grow indoors..They will benefit from a window location, preferably a window facing the south.

No not really. If you have a well lit room or put it by the window-- it will grow slowly indoors but I don't put it outside untill earlly spring.

Ya you can grow in it, whatever you want, I use a temp gauge to keep it at 70-75 degrees. It's a great tent, I've had no problems w/it.

Keep it where sunshine hits it, inside or out it does well in cool weather outside, but I place it in my patio window. I spray the leaves and it flourishes for me. Spray when outdoors is too cold. Willa

I'm in CA too. I have mine in a pot that I move to a warmer area when it gets below 35 at night. I forgot to move it one night a few weeks ago when it hit 30 degrees and I've been struggling to keep it alive ever since. If it survives, I will put it inside under a grow light next Winter. Not sure what the plan is when/if it gets bigger.

This plant is so resilient that it can grow anywhere. Once it takes hold it can go dry for a while - doesn't have to be wet all the time. It does better in sun. Beware - it spreads very, very fast. I have mine in a container.
