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.

Peek-A-Boo!

 It's only been 3 days and both basils have sprouted - a full day early!

Taking It To the Next Level...

So, I finally did it...  I purchased one of those "Grow A Garden in Your Home" kits.  Namely, the AeroGarden by MiracleGro.

For quite a while, I've been wanting to make seed sprouting more effortless (not that it is difficult during the spring), and instead of having to wait until it warms up in the spring, I figured I'd get a real jump on the season with this purchase.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Sometimes it might seem like the winter months are the slowest months when it comes to gardening. After all, what can you do when the temperature outside is way too cold for proper germination and even the days are much shorter?

I Love Gardening!

Nothing as fulfilling as watching
your plants grow from seed.

Gardening is more than just planting a few seeds and hoping that you get a bountiful harvest. 

Gardening is about loving what you do so much that you take the time to care for and grow nutritious fruits and vegetables for yourself and for your family. It's about enjoying life, enjoying what God has given us every day since the beginning of time. It's about watching something so small as a seed grow into something that can either shade you, feed you, or just help you enjoy life more fully.
