AeroGarden - Week 4

After a month of steady growth, it's time to move these herbs into the garden.

Movin' On Up!

 Well, after a month of steady and excellent growth, it's time to move my herbs into the garden.  Yes, the experiment is over - to great success.  I am completely sold on the AeroGarden and what it can do for me and my family when it comes to growing healthy food from the comfort of my own home.  It was worth every single penny.

AeroGarden - Week 3

Bounteous Harvest

So, having such a wonderful harvest right here inside my home, it's hard to believe that now I have a new problem. It's that I have too many herbs to harvest! So I'm planning to do what I do when I have the same issue during the late spring and early summer....

AeroGarden Week 2.5

Fist Fruits

Well, it's only been two and a half weeks and I've already harvested a nice handful of Genovese and Thai basil.  I'm more than ecstatic to say the least.  I will be immediately drying the harvest and making a powder for the future.  I actually use my dried basil for sore throat relief - as a tea.

AeroGarden - Week 2

Week 2 and everything seems to be coming up!

Well, so far so good!  It would seem that the AeroGarden is living up to advertising with all seeds germinating...even the ones I'm not really interested in...

I Haven't Forgotten My First Love

Sometimes when you discover something new about yourself such as a new skill or learn something new, you tend to get very excited about it and put all your effort into that new endeavor.  But sometimes - if you're lucky - you find out more than one new thing about yourself and you have a decision to make.  Should I put more effort into the new skill than the old; should I focus on my original skill and just count the new one as extra; or should I foster them both and grow them equally?

Aerogarden - Week 1

It's been a week already and a lot has happened.  But before I get to that, I wanted to emphasize how easy it's been "maintaining" the proper environment for my seedlings.
