Hydroponic gardening made EASY!

So, I have always wanted to have a hydroponic garden, especially in the winter months. I was going to make one at one point but it was so confusing I never ended up doing it. For Christmas I got an Aerogarden 3 (Link) and I am in love! My dad got me the cow print one as an inside joke, my very first email was "Moomoolover" haha! This machine was super easy to set up, if I can do it anyone can! I am currently growing Dill, Parsley and Basil! You need one in your life!

Garden Update 7/1/2013

I haven't written in a while, I haven't really been doing much I hurt my back about 2 weeks ago and the it got a little better for a few days then I hurt it again but not as bad as the first time. You have to be strong to be pregnant, I wish I had been working out prior to being pregnant haha! Anyways, our garden is growing more and more everyday, we have like 5 basil plants starting, tons of cilantro, the sunflowers are doing great, the oregano is doing ok I think (still not sure if its growing or if its weeds haha), the lettuce is really big, the kale is growing nicely, we have one bean plant growing and several types of onions. Last night Matt and I pulled all of the weeds in about 45 minutes, we gave it a good soak before we started so it was super easy to do. NO MORE GHETTO GARDEN!

Before pulling weeds 

After we pulled the weeds, I am so happy with it now! 

Some of the basil, I think I will need to transplant them farther apart when they get a little bigger

The lonely green bean plant

The second garden

Lots of cilantro, we always have cilantro in our fridge so this will be awesome to have from the garden!

Update with the garden

Well, I dont know what I am doing haha. There are a million plants growing and I think 90% of them are weeds so I am waiting for them to get a little bigger so I can know for a fact its a weed before ripping out some cilantro or something. I havent skipped a day watering yet! YES! The bigger garden doesnt look like anything is growing from a distance, when you get up close you can see there are plants all over, some are getting to the point where I can tell what it is. Here are some pictures...

Cilantro for sure...

Looks like nothing, right? 

Then you look closer and you're like, HEY KALE!

The sunflowers are growing like CRAZY!
