AeroGarden Update

Everything but the parsley has sprouted now. I had to take the biodome off the chives last night because they had gotten too tall to fit under it. I tried to take a picture, but my camera batteries are dead.

January in Texas

It's 70 degrees, gray and dreary outside. By tonight, it's supposed to be down to the mid-30s. Wild weather changes usually give me headaches, and I've had headaches for the past two days. Bleh.

Teeny sprouts

I could see the teeny-tiniest of sprouts in the AeroGarden today, on two of the plants. Thyme and purplebasil, I think, but I may be misremembering. It was early this morning, and I was very sleepy. Maybe I'll take a photo tonight if they're a bit more visible.

Yes we did!

I still can't quite believe it. Congratulations, President Obama!

The AeroGarden has been planted

Is "planted" the right word for the AeroGarden? Yesterday I assembled the thing, put the little seed pods in their slots, added water and nutrient tablets, plugged it in, and that was it. I think the whole thing took 15 minutes and that includes reading the instructions. It makes a great nightlight. The glow even lights up the front porch through the vertical blinds. Now I just need recipes for fresh herbs.
