Organic Herbs

Hard to believe I haven't been making some art...but I continue with more food.

Hubs bought me an "Aero Garden" for Christmas. Aero tells you when to water, when to feed nutrients, it grows rapidly (due to the special lights that actually are a beacon in the kitchen 16 hours a day) there is no dirt (so no fungus gnats and bugs yippee!) and it is completely organic... What more could a black thumb gardener ask for? It does all the thinking for you!

I LOVE me some fresh herbs for cooking. I love basil in omelettes, quiche, frittata, pizza, italian bruschetta and etc. I dig (no pun intended) fresh chives in chicken salad, potatoes, tons of things. So excited for the new herbs to appear. We "planted" the day after Christmas. The caps have come off of the ones that have sprouts already. YUM!

I will keep you posted if it works. You know the classic..."think of all the money we will save on herbs at the grocery store!" You don't even want to know how much $$$ this guy cost. Hubs surprised me with it, cuz we looked at it at Sam's Club (yes it is available there too) and then decided against it...hmmm maybe he was planning this all along.
