You knew this was coming:
Today our AeroGarden mini is 3 weeks old and we celebrated by harvesting some of the basil. This pasta salad came from a DiGiorno box mix, but I added some of Trader Joe's Fire Roasted Red Peppers, and, of course, fresh basil from our high-tech indoor garden.
Want to see?
If you want to take a closer look at the food, just click on it to zoom. Doesn't that look yummy? Cilantro is not reported to grow well or fast in the AeroGarden, so we tried the frozen cubes manufactured by Dorot Garlic and Herbs. I have chopped my own and frozen it before, too, but it is a messy job, so it was nice to find it in the grocery store.
I don't think two of these hydroponic planter contraptions will be enough. We keep finding exciting new seeds to plant. Can you believe we actually found a packet of okra seeds on sale for ten cents? They are having a competition with our summer squash to see which one is the fastest growing veggie.
I planted them in the AeroGarden Deluxe on May 21 and this is what they looked like yesterday:
