I Can Hardly Wait to Eat This  

An AC review! What a good idea. I really should do that. thank you for the suggestion :-)

When you are very hungry, twenty minutes is a long time to wait in a restaurant where you can see and smell the other people's food! We ate some of our yummy greens for dinner tonight, both lettuce from our garden and also some cooked greens that go good with potatoes and sausage. I love to eat food that we grew ourselves.

I wish i can grow my own food...

There are a few foods that are amazingly simply to grow and anyone could do it, but this is just not commonly known. I am working on some articles designed to show people how easy it is. I'm learning that tomatoes are really not all that difficult, if one is not concerned with optimal yield. I'm not fussy about the quantity of fruit we get as long as it is delicious and makes an interesting houseplant.

Before i venture into gardening again... i decided to buy a plant that is already in a pot... just to see if i have that green thumb... since my first attempt was a dismal failure... if the one i bought lives a long time... then i will certainly try growing simple veggies in my small apartment...

We can talk about any kind of food at all whether in a restaurant or a festival or as in my case on the table next to me! It is really easy to grow basil in water, but I don't have any tips for growing it in dirt. There I would be discouraged too!

Oh, and I ALWAYS burn myself on wonton soup. It is so good that I cannot make myself wait. Hubby pours a little ice water in his. The smarty!

I took a peek at them a minute ago and I think I should just toss them out. Good thing I only used half of each packet so I will try again with the other half at Boyfriend's place.

I will try the iced water on wonton soup next time. Does your hubby have any smart idea on how not to further burn your tongue with hot veggie rolls?

Seriously, that tomato is so good-looking... I whistle at it!

You had your plants growing 'out' where Ms Saintly?

I got pretty discouraged myself with my attempts at having tomatoes and basil to eat throughout the winter... WAH! I want one of those kits too!!!

The kits do make it really easy. No, patience is the only method hubby knows for not burning one's mouth on egg rolls...that or dip them in the wonton soup after it has been iced down, but sorry, to me that is yuck.

My pots are out there, Ziggy but I don't think I can say the same for whatever they were that I was trying to grow for months. Apparently, my thumb could get swollen but it will never be green.

Yes, I am an over-anxious gardener too. I'm growing snap beans for the first time and got so excited when the first small pod appeared. So excited that I have a little growth chart for it recorded on a 3 x 5 card to see how much longer it gets every day or week or whatever, assuming the birds don't get it first. The pot is eye level on the window sill of our porch and in a limb of a tree just across the sidewalk I'm sure I saw a bird getting interested in the plants, but it was probably the cherry tomatoes he hoped to snag.

Hubby and I have a small bet going as to whether or not the bird will figure out how to get inside and beat us to the porch tomatoes. This is is inside, so it is safe.

You are my kind of gardener! I eat things straight from the plant, too, especially these indoor grown things that have not had bugs crawl all over them. The tomatoes we grow taste much different from the ones in the grocery store, don't they! I am doing cukes and snap beans too, and bought the pea kit for our AeroGarden, but have not tried that one yet.

Thank you subha, and perhaps you also grow methi? That crop is not widely cultivated here, but I grow mine and enjoy eating it over potatoes, sauteeed in a skillet, maybe with egg, too.

Bringles is a new word to me, though. I have heard the expression "pickled bringles" before but have no idea what that is. Can you describe bringles for me?

We did eat the one in the picture tonight and it was delicious, but there are more on the way.

The electronic planters we use to grow things inside our city apartment are not widely available outside of the US and England just yet, but it is just a matter of time. Yes, you certainly may have the next one that ripens!

Thank you. When the next one is ripe maybe it will fit in your pocket, but this one we ate tonight and the flavor was intense. We will certainly be growing that variety again.

I have not tried the official AeroGrow lettuce kits, but the romaine lettuce we bought from Johnny's Seeds (the pelleted Green Forest Organic) was crisp and delicious and grew huge. As it is cut and come again we did enjoy quite a few salads from that.

We did grow their tomato kit though, and although the golden cherries started ripening first and they are quite delicious, both the taste and the texture of the red one, which we ate tonight, was just outstanding. It had so much flavor, I could hardly believe it. It may have been a bit riper than the yellow ones we ate though, so I'll let the next yellow ripen more and see if it compares.

I prefer just starting the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc., in the AeroGarden and moving them into a separate pot once they are off to a good start because we could be eating a whole lot of salad greens in the time it takes to grow a few tomatoes. But as hubby said tonight, "That was worth waiting for!" Well, I fed him our first jalapeno tonight, too.

i just ordered my aerogarden today im so excited i cant wait i ordered the delux that you can grow cucumber, bell pepers and more.
