AeroGarden!
Posted by Matt


Ok, so here's a really cool gift that Jeni's mom got for us for Christmas, an AeroGarden! We don't have a tv, but friends have said, "Hey, I've seen that thing on tv and thought it would be cool to have one, but I'd never be able to actually get one." Well, we've got one, suckers, and soon we'll be just swimming in freshly picked herbs. Whadya think of that, huh?

Actually, we had a bit of a problem when we first hooked up our AeroGarden, which runs on 110v and not 220v like we have in the UK. We thought, "We'll just plug it into our travel converter for the next few days until we can get a permanent one." The next morning went like this:

Jeni, sniffing the air: "Oh, I forgot that converter makes a funky ozone smell."
Matt: "Umm, it's melting."





Yeah. So the garden got put on hold for a week or two until today. Hopefully this beast won't melt!



We also hope our herbs will grow, since they got dunked with water for a few hours a week ago then dried out and now we're trying to start them again. It may be that we lost our first batch of seeds in this whole process, oh well.

To finish off the post, another pic of Jeni's new haircut!



Isn't she beautiful?
