Last summer, I used some gift cards I received from students and family to purchase two Aerogarden units. I figured that was my best chance of success for a herb garden, seeing as my previous attempts failed miserably.

The nice thing about the Aerogarden is that it’s a complete unit. Grow lights, water reservoir, and a screen that tells you when to feed and water your plants. I ordered the herb garden starter kits. I have to say, hydroponic gardens are the way to go!

After enjoying fresh herbs all summer, I splurged and added another unit in the fall, dedicated to lettuce:

Fast forward to today. I haven’t had to buy lettuce since September. The fresh herbs have been put to great use in salads, salad dressing and homemade Shake n Bake.

Last month, I ordered some grow bags. I plan to level up my gardening by growing some root vegetables. I am definitely open to receiving tips and suggestions.
