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.
