I got an Aerogarden thing and I’m THRILLED. I got it on clearance so that’s good--I’ve been wanting to try an indoor grow system for a while so it’s perfect. If I like it, I can keep using it wherever I am and if I like parts of it I can build my next one keeping in mind whatever irritated me about the pre-built kit.

I’ve been reading reviews and uh. So, for those who don’t like gardening, please just...plants don’t just grow??? They have requirements??? Yes, if you plant it, it’s not going to require much maintence but all you have to do is water, feed, and trim the plants.

I’m just.

I feel so judgey but that’s so simple? And so much less work than an outside garden? And gardening is fun! You get little plant buddies and you can eat some of them.

It's currently in the spare bathroom--that way I can keep the door closed most of the time so we won't be bugged by the light. The spare bathroom is also the 'work' bathroom where I stash extra aquarium supplies, con supplies and my husband shaves in the morning so it's okay to just kind of. Take over in there. And it's pretty hygienic because we don't actually use any of the bathroom features. Ahem.

I also ignored reviews and planted all the pods at once. I'm sure I'll regret it but I eat a lot of veggies and use herbs in regular cooking and witch stuff so I'm probably going to be okay? We'll find out.

Great things: I've found some homesteading and gardening books at the library I haven't read yet! I've already learned several new things and am brushing up on in-the-ground gardening! Huzzah!

Bad news: It's making me want to plant a garden now and if all goes well we'll be moving in 4-5 months (from 2nd story apartment to something ground level). I'll have garden space at the new location and I can definitely grow things at that point but the little kid in me is whining about how it is f.o.r.e.v.e.r from now.

Thanks to climate change we haven't gotten any bad frosts yet (I'm in deep South at the moment) so maybe I can plant some peas or lettuce--something quick to grow that will tide me over.

Really bad news: one of the books is from 1942 and contains Ye Olde Lingo. Luckily it hasn't been too bad, just the occasional bad word but still makes me wince.
