I set it up earlier this week. It took some cleaning and sorting and ciphering to find a good place to keep it, but we managed finally. Since it has self-contained lights, I didn't have to find it real estate near the windows, so that helps out a lot! Window space is in high demand around here.
Of course, Superman is keeping a watch over the plants to make sure no bad guys come after them!
Setup was a breeze. Snap the pieces together, add water, put bowl on base, plug in.
Decision time was the hardest part. My garden came with a set of herb pods designed to grow in it, as well as a set of seed starting pods and tray to start seeds for the outdoor garden. I also contemplated whether I wanted to just plug in some of my own seeds. In the end, I went with the herb pods to get started and see how it all works out for us.
5 days later, we have sprouts!
The thai basil is sprouting, and I hope to have a few others out in a few days. I'm looking forward to watching the progress of these little guys, and getting year round harvest of fresh herbs right here in the comfort of the house.
