I love watching this AeroGarden grow. Every week there are significant changes. I’ve already got some flowers from my Love Blooms kit!
Much different than it looked 10 days ago. Even just 5 days ago, this is what the garden looked like…smaller with just a few buds.
And here was the first flower:
I love seeing the flowers with the basil. I can’t wait until there are more.
I didn’t forget the other garden. The parsley and oregano are going strong!
I hope the little cilantro can catch up!
I know it was yesterday, but I thought I’d share a few pictures from our little Mother’s Day get-together.
I attempted cake decorating :)
My mom and me:
My mom-in-law and her Fane kids:
And then my life was pretty much complete when this happened:
Happy Mother’s Day to mothers near and far! :)
Just a quick AeroGarden update…my little petunia’s doing great!
Much bigger than last post, and that was only what, a week or so ago? The heavily-pruned basil’s not doing too poorly either. Those plants are putting their growing efforts into making the remaining leaves bigger. I can’t believe the basil plant on the right is almost a year and a half old!
In the new garden, things are coming along nicely as well.
Nice growth on the parsley – the leaves are really starting to take their shape! Some more visible sprouts in the oregano and under all that condensation, the cilantro has some tiny sprouts as well.
I just love watching these things grow! :)
This year Brandon and I celebrated our 7th anniversary! :) Lucky #7, right?
We spent the weekend watching some Hitchcock movies (Rear Window & Rope) and The Naked Gun while enjoying some buttery popcorn and fizzy drinks.
And we took an architectural cruise along the Chicago River! It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a while and definitely the highlight of my weekend. I brought along my boyfriend and got some fun pictures of the city. :)
I loved seeing the city from an angle that I’ve never seen before and I learned a lot more about various styles of architecture than I ever knew. I also learned a lot about my camera and lens: there’s just no experience like getting out and actually taking pictures.
Finally, we wrapped up the weekend by indulging in my favorite ranch dressing ever – from the Cheesecake Factory. :)
Happy 7th Anniversary :)

I’m finally movin’ things around here in the AeroGardens!
My little petunia is doing so well, so I figured it’d be a good time to move it in with the big basil.
(There are tiny sprouts in the parsley and oregano, too!)
To aid the petunia’s growth in the old AeroGarden, I decided to prune the basil down a lot, so I could lower the light. I forgot to take pictures before I began, but here it is halfway through:
And after they were both pruned…they looked so sad. :)
I hope they continue to do okay! But I was able to lower the light and move the petunia in.
Then I planted some cilantro seeds in the new garden.
Now, here are the two AeroGardens side by side:
Here’s hoping everything does well!
It’s a little gloomy here in Indiana on this Earth Day, so here are some more flower shots to cheer us up. :)
Happy Earth Day! Here’s hoping the nicer parts of spring come to us soon. :)
