My hubby gave me the coolest, most unexpected gift for Christmas this year. I am now the proud owner of an AeroGarden!
To be honest, I'd never heard of these contraptions before. My husband discovered a sale on AeroGardens through an online deals forum (he does all his shopping online). He knows that I've been looking wistfully out the window at my snow-covered backyard, counting down the days until I can finally dig my hands in our little garden again. Here's hoping that the AeroGarden will scratch my gardening itch until the spring thaw.
A quick browse through the AeroGarden Web site got my heart a-fluttering over the indoor gardening possibilities. I can grow herbs, flowers and even vegetables (!) in these little soil-free wonders. My mini AeroGarden came with a pack of flower seeds.
All I had to do was drop the seed pods into the holes, fill the aerated tank with water and turn on the grow light, which runs on a self-timer. Ridiculously easy! The plastic covers act as mini-greenhouses to promote seed growth.
What a cool contraption! Also, what a wonderful reminder that in the not too distant future, you will be digging your hands back into your soil. I look forward to the blogs about your garden.

I have an Aero Garden too! I've never done Flowers. Currently I am growing herbs. I love it. It's great to have fresh herbs with 15 inches of snow on the ground.
