My New AeroGarden

Just the other day, walking home in the cold, I was thinking about how nice it would be when it's warm again and I could start a balcony herb garden. It wouldn't be my first attempt; I've tried to grow a nice herb garden several times, and they have all died. As much as I wish I had a green thumb, I'm pretty sure after many failed attempts at growing things that it's brown. I have tried with cheap seeds, expensive seeds...I've even bought hardy-looking, already-grown ones and have had them die.

I got a package from my parents yesterday, and on the customs form on the outside of the box it said "herb garden." My heart kind of fell because as much as I'd love to have an herb garden it's never worked out and I'd hate to waste any more of mine or anyone else's money on trying to grow herbs.

But when I opened the package, it was an AeroGarden, a complete system that feeds, waters, and provides light and appropriate shelter for herbs. It's pretty much 100% guaranteed to grow! I love cooking with herbs so much but have always been let down so this was a perfect gift for me. I plan to document the growing of the herbs here on this blog.

Thanks Mom, Doug, Priscilla and Muffin!
