Aerogarden: Week 11

Funny story: last week, I didn’t post an Aerogarden update on Tuesday. I didn’t think anyone would mind, but someone actually twittered and asked about the post! I was REALLY flattered that someone would actually REMEMBER that Tuesday was Aerogarden day! I was thinking about phasing out the Aerogarden updates (especially because I haven’t really been using the herbs yet), but I’ll stick to Tuesday posts until I hear otherwise from you guys. Onto the update!

As I mentioned in last week’s post, lowing the lamp makes a huge difference for the stragglers – just look at the left side of the picture:

Notice how the smaller plants have grown a lot since last week?! The one that surprised me the most was oregano:

The leaves are starting to look larger and it looks like it’s almost time to use them!

The dill is also doing a lot better since the lamp was raised:

And the chives have almost hit the lamp, although I wish there were more so I could use them in a recipe:

The thyme has been getting a little crazy, but I used a bunch in a recipe (I’ll post about that tomorrow):

And I just plucked a bunch of basil before taking this picture (I’ll post the recipe tomorrow as well):

Finally, I’m not quite sure what I should do with this mint:

Because it 1. doesn’t taste like mint and 2. I’m not sure if it’s edible or not. Any suggestions? Maybe I could use it as an air freshener!
