AeroGarden Harvest 360, Red with Gourmet Herbs Seed Kit

We received a Harvest 360 in sage, for my 92-1/2 year old mother, who lives with us. She is frail and increasingly weak and "housebound." Aging is hard; she has vascular dementia, and losing her faculties is heart-wrenchingly distressing for her. We planted "Mountain Meadows" flower pods in her Harvest 360, and when they began to sprout, life in the morning perked up for her. She so looks forward to seeing how her flowers are doing! These days, after a week in the hospital, she is less able to come to the kitchen, so I moved her Harvest back to the far side of her bed. She's delighted and continuously cheered. The light is far enough away that during daytime it doesn't bother her, and at night she goes to sleep when the LED's go to sleep too. Flowers are beginning to blossom for her. I've never grown flowers in my 66 years, so now I am learning about pruning and helping her flowers go well. I also am growing herbs and vegetables in my other Aerogardens; it's so great to be growing things after 66 years of nothing but fails. Really, *nothing* but fails. I'm grateful for the role Aerogarden plays in my gardening success and joys, and especially for the cheer they bring my little mom.

I now own two aero gardens. The first was a gift and I was so impressed by the herbs I grew over the winter, I knew I wanted to use it to start seeds for my summer garden. I was delighted to find that a seed starter tray was available, giving me 23 sowing places. In estimating my needs, I purchased the second aero garden and started trays for both. This week, I began transplanting the vigorous seedlings from the aero garden to pots with soil. It looks like all are thriving, but I did explain to them that the future for them would not be quite as bright as the perfect environment the aero gardens provide. It is a fabulous way to grow plants indoors - no green thumb needed!
