Greens Galore!
I harvested from my mesclun Aerogarden this morning, as well as taking about five large leaves from my chard garden. Enough greens to make FOUR pasta bowl sized salads!

I had two big bowls of fresh lettuce/greens out of my Aerogarden today. 100 grams worth, all told. Enough to completely fill two large pasta bowls. It was such a pretty, frilly garden until I harvested! But it will grow back soon. This was my 3rd harvest, on a garden that is just over a [...]

So I thought I’d take a picture. This tomato was grown using an Aerogarden Red Heirloom Tomato seed kit. I really neglected [...]

I really let my good habits go the past few months. One thing that I have found is that when you get some habits formed, even if for only a while, it is not quite as hard to jump back in as it was to form them in the first place. One habit I had [...]

Tonight I harvested the last of the outdoor lettuce. It’s all washed, spin-dried and in two large 14 cup Rubbermaid produce savers. The kind with the little tray at the bottom and holes for air flow in the lid. Should be enough for 4-6 large salads. There were a ton of tiny winged bugs on [...]
