Aerogarden – Week 6
It is week 6 of having the Aerogarden, the mini grow station, and the herbs that germinated are looking great. This includes the Basil I seeded to replace the Thyme that didn’t germinate (and that Aerogarden, keeping their germination guarantee, reimbursed us for).
We are lightly harvesting everything except for the Parsley and the Genovese Basil. Those plants aren’t yet large enough to take leaves from.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby, especially, is loving having a little bit of fresh herbs with each meal.
He was surprised how much he likes the Dill. Previously, he’d only had store-bought fresh Dill and the dried stuff and that doesn’t compare to Dill picked right from a plant.

The Aerogarden is, IMHO, a success!

Aerogarden – Week 5
We now have seedlings in all 6 of the Aerogarden’s (the mini grow station’s) pods!
Woot!
The Thyme didn’t germinate. Aerogarden kept their germination guarantee and reimbursed us for that. I quickly popped in a couple Genovese Basil seeds and they germinated super quickly.
We’ve harvested some Dill and this past week, we did our first harvest of the Thai Basil. And everything seems to be growing strong.
We’re very pleased with the Aerogarden. It is super easy to grow in and it is nice to have fresh herbs literally on our kitchen table.

Aerogarden – Week 4
This is week 4 of using the Aerogarden, the mini-grow station the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I received as a gift.
Five of the pods have seen germination. One of the pods (the Thyme) didn’t have any activity.
Aerogarden guarantees germination. The Dear Wonderful Hubby called their helpline and they gave us a refund for that pod.
There were some questions (as they are trying to fix problems and stop that from happening to other growers in the future) but the process was easy peasy.
Aerogarden truly does stand behind their guarantee.
Some of the pods had multiple germinations.
The Thai Basil, for example, had SIX seeds germinate. That is way too much for one little pod to handle. So I pulled out three of the seedlings and transplanted them in their own more traditional dirt-filled containers. And all three of the seedlings survived this rather traumatic experience.
(smiles)
The Dear Wonderful Hubby (the fresh herb lover) should have a lot of Thai Basil in the future.
