Day 1 February 6, 2007

Started my AeroGarden today at noon. It is a computerized aeroponic growing system — hard to resist for a foodie and high-tech junkie like me… I will post new pictures when the seeds sprout. 
(the planted seeds are (back left to right) Mint, Italian Basil, Dill, Cilantro, (front left to right) Parsley, Purple Basil, Chives.)
Day 3 February 8, 2007

The Italian Basil has poked its head out… I had no idea how hard it is to photograph something that small — the tiny green thing in the middle is the sprout…
Day 4 February 9, 2007

There are a total of 5 Italian Basil sprouts today!

and 2 Purple Basil sprouts showed up too (only one is visible in the picture.)
Day 6 February 11, 2007

There are a total of 6 Purple Basil sprouts today

and 3 very very tiny Mint sprouts showed up too!
(the Italian Basil spouts are doing very well, they don’t look much different, just got a little taller.)
Day 7 February 12, 2007

The very first Dill sprout!

Italian Basil

Purple Basil (both Italian and Purple Basil have started to grow the second tier of leaves.)

The Mint sprouts are getting quite busy 
Day 9 February 14, 2007

There are now 3 Dill sprouts.

The leaves of Purple Basil are getting quite purple 
Italian Basil and Mint sprouts are not looking too different beside getting taller and taller.
Day 12 February 17, 2007

Starting to look like a garden 

Chives all came out today.

Close up of the tiny little Parsley sprout.
Now only Cilantro hasn’et sprouted yet…
Day 15 February 20, 2007

the tiny Pasley sprout stays the same, and there is still no sign of Cilantro…
Day 19 February 24, 2007

still no sign of Cilantro…
Day 23 February 28, 2007

Day 29 March 6, 2007

Cilantro is not happening, Aerogrow’s customer service very nicely offered to send me replacement Thyme seed pod since most of the people have the same problem with Cilantro.
Day 42 March 19, 2007

Day 55 April 1, 2007

I’ve cut out boxes of Basil leaves, they grow faster then I can eat them! What fun
