I Harvested My Dill

Well, some of it anyway. Lori and I were in the fish market last Saturday and she saw that they had a tuna salad made with fresh dill, chopped dill pickles and chopped red onions. So on Tuesday I made tuna salad too. I was too lazy to chop a pickle or an onion, so I just harvested some dill from my garden. (If you didn't already know why I have a garden, scroll down the page and find out why.) The problem was that I didn't use nearly enough fresh dill to make a difference, just a few tablespoons. I was too lazy to harvest more, so just ate the tuna as it was. Next time I'll harvest a lot more dill and even chop up some pickle and onion. Maybe, if I'm not too lazy that is.

My Crops are Growing Well

Remember the post I made about the Aero Garden Lori gave me for Christmas? I planted the seed pods on December 27th. This is what my garden looked like on January 8th.


Here's what it looks like today, about a month later. From left to right: mint, parsley, basil, purple basil, dill, chives and thyme.


Right now the dill is the tallest at 5 1/2 inches. The chives and basil were taller, but I trimmed them back a few days ago so they didn't hit the light. I wanted to let the other herbs catch up a little. Now I have to find some recipes I like so I can use them.

I hope y'all have a great weekend!

My Crops Have Sprouted

You heard me right, my crops have sprouted. Yea, I know it seems like a strange time to start growing crops, but hey, it's me your talking about, so let me explain. Lori gave me an Aero Garden for Christmas. A couple of days later I "planted" my first crop. This one is herbs. I'm growing basil, purple basil, mint, chives, parsley, dill and thyme. Here's what it looks like a few days ago.


I can't wait to harvest my first crop. I love using herbs in my recipes, especially fresh ones. Aero Garden offers strawberries and tomatoes too, so let's see what I grow next.
