With the weather so cold outside, Max hasn't been able to get out and wander in the yard. BUT, Santa did bring him a surprise so he
can grow a crop right in our kitchen any time of year! Max was quite intriqued with that big box and was anxious to see what was inside. Here he is unwrapping the surprise garden. Did you know you could buy a garden in a box?
Right now we have a very interesting array of herbs growing including, Italian Basis, Cilantro, Min, Dill, Parsley, Chives, and Purple Basil. It was planted on Christmas Day and as soon as yesterday the Italian Basil was popping it's little head up. It will be fun to watch the progress and how quickly the "crop" matures.
Besides a huge variety of herbs, we can grow tomatoes, peppers, beans, peas, various salad greens, AND flowers. You buy the little pods and "plant" them and they grow right in front of your eyes. Pretty darn cool!
Check back as time goes by and we'll let you know how the garden is doing.
Happy Holidays!

That is so cool. I was looking at those in a catalog and would like to have 2... one for salad greens and one for herbs. You'll have to let me know how they turn out. No soil involved is there
Happy New Year!

Nanc, These would be great for you in Alaska. Nope, no soil involved and you can grow all year long! We are already seeing the cutest little plants from the Italian Basil and Purple Basil and the Chive has a couple of sprouts popping up their heads too. We planted on Christmas Day, so it's really fast!
Wow! I guess it is fast. Does the growing medium have to be replenished? Keep me posted on the progress or better yet a photo of the plants when they get mature.
