The one with dreams of homemade salsa

Yesterday I cleaned out one of my favorite toys and got it ready for another run! My dear little AeroGarden is now home to a couple tomato plants and 1 jalapeño plant. Actually, it’s home for seeds which will grow into tomato and jalapeño plants but nonetheless it’s all very exciting. If you are like me and love to garden but always forget to water your plants, you need an AeroGarden. I started out with their Herb Garden startup kit and we had so much yummy basil, mint, chives, thyme, dill and I’m sure something else I’m forgetting. The plants started out as seeds and never did die from a lack of water because the AeroGarden does all the watering for me. Yeah I know … that’s not REALLY gardening but it’s as close as I can get right now and despite protests from “true” gardeners I still wind up with pesticide-free yummy stuff … just like YOU! So ha ha ha!

Here’s a picture of my beautiful little garden! I can’t wait … in a month or two I’ll have REAL tomatoes and REAL jalapeños that are wax free, taste like REAL veggies and I’ll mix them all into a salsa with a bit of garlic and onion! Oh how I love the taste of REAL tomatoes that have ripened on the vine!
