LED Day 60

So thankful for the countdown the aerogarden has...otherwise I would have lost count of the days long long ago...
My strawberry plant is blooming!
 You know that lemon mint I planted about a month ago? The plant is tiny but I still harvested a few leaves. I put them on a frozen pizza...the kids didn't want them so I got to eat them all...and it was delicious.
 Total so far is three flowers! So I have three future strawberries... yay
This upsets me. I was walking in the garden center at WalMart and I saw these. AeroGarden sells 25ft of these for $7.95 ( I purchased mine at 20% off with free shipping) WalMart sells the same thing but 5 less feet for $2.97!!! I had never seen this before. I had no idea anything like this existed so I was thrilled when I purchased it from AeroGarden. So if you are buying it off season then sure get it from AeroGarden because you won't find it anywhere else but if you can... wait until WalMart has it for half the price.

LED Day 55

This is my garden. Starting to be overcrowded...think someone needs to have a salad





 I have tons of little cucumbers growing. Going to say there are 30 - 40 growing right now!

 Planted some tomatoes. Then I thinned them and it was fine until I pulled the last little seedling off I broke the main plant :(  these were planted a little over two weeks ago!!!
 There is the little lemon mint being overcrowded by the lettuce plants.
 So I trimmed them a little

 This is my Mom's tomatoes. Hers were planted on the 24th of March
Last and most fun of all! My strawberry plant is starting to produce fruit! Then I told you guys last week how AeroGarden was sending me a replacement part because my light was not staying attached in my garden. Its here!

LED Day 51

My gardens were getting a little overgrown. Look at all the stuff I trimmed off.

That's a quarter! My cucumber plant was taking over so I took off a few branches. I still have lots and lots left over. Really looking forward to some cucamelons.

Can you see how the middle plant is taller and fatter than the other two? The one on the inside had the lights closer (as far down as the AeroGarden would allow) and the other two had it a bit higher. See the difference in two weeks from seed!
here is my strawberry plant! Wow it sure has gotten big. Thinking about getting rid of the two older lettuce plants and allowing the strawberry plant some room to expand.
That is a dime. Now you can really see how big my strawberry plant is getting!
There is the dime again showing you my little cucumber plant. Grow little buddy; I want to eat you! Finally this is my lettuce harvest. I added the two baby carrots so you could see how much I was able to harvest. YUM
