Hi, it's me .. rdginto ... writing to update on the Aerogarden. I love mine so much I'm thinking about getting a second one - particularly for the winter months. So far I've grown the variety of herbs, which all did wonderful..bought a package of the different types of basil and am still growing that. For a hint on what to do with all that basil .. buy a food hydrator, dry it out and you'll have your own dried basil to use anytime! In the winter I plan on growing tomatoes and lettuce so I'll have the basics for salads all winter long without the high store prices !!
