I have never been much of a gardener–too hot, too buggy, too many weeds; the list goes on! But like everyone, when the Pandemic hit in March of 2020, we were confined to our homes, I was looking for something to bring life, something to do, something that made me excited! And guess what–planting vegetables and herbs from seed and watching them come to life, provided all of that for me! There is nothing better than fresh herbs and vegetables! I started out with the Aerogarden, before the pandemic. Easy enough. The fact that plants could be grown in a machine with just water, was mind-boggling!
The Pandemic helped me spread my wings as a gardener! That was when I discovered how gratifying it is to get your hands a little dirty and watch something that you planted start to sprout and then grow to something you can eat!

I hope that you feel inspired to grow your own fresh vegetables and herbs! Seeing the seeds come to life is super gratifying! Let me know how things are going with your gardening experience. Can’t wait to hear all about it!
