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....

The process I use to dry my herbs:

Fist I lay my herbs on a paper towel and then cover them with another paper 
towel.

When I put it in the microwave, I cook it for one minute and then check it
and keep adding 30 seconds until it is completely dried.  After a few
tries, you will know how long you can set the microwave for to get complete
dryness.

This is what I get after the drying process.

To check, I also crush one in my fingers.  It should crush into a powder.
If not ready yet, don't forget to add another 20 to 30 seconds.

Then I put it in a mason jar and seal it until necessary.  Usually, I use a
coffee grinder to make a fine powder, but since I only have a few leaves
(for now), I will wait until I have some more.

So now I'm completely convinced that the AeroGarden is a great way for me to get my seeds started and even grow and maintain some herbs throughout the year. And since this device is now using LCD grow lights, I feel better about leaving it on autopilot throughout the years to come.

P.S.  I'd like to apologize for being a week late on this update.  As you can imagine, Spring is right around the corner and my garden is buzzing with new tasks in preparation.
