Aerogarden Journal

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything in this aerogarden journal due to the fact I’ve been waiting on them to send me the replacement magnetic float. This float controls the red warning light that reminds you to add more water. The problem was this has somehow developed a crack in it and sunk to the bottom so the red light is now constantly blinking.

I also had to raise the lights as the Purple Basil had grown into a monster lol  no matter how much I pruned it the leaves were always reaching up towards the lights and geting burned. I was waiting on the replacment seed pods but due to Aerogarden opening up a new warehouse the order had got forgotten about so they ended up offering to send me a completly new Gourmet herb kit instead of the original 3 herbs that hadn;t grown.

I’ve recieved this new herb kit but not the float so I putin another order which hopefully should be here in a week or so. Meanwhile I’ve been harvesting more  Basil than I can use. So far I’ve tried it in Pasta, Rice, and soup….. but I’ve come to the conclusion it’s not one of my favorite herbs.

I may try selling the new Gourmet Herb Kit on Ebay and buy one of the many other seed kits available, I still have th Cherry Tomoato kit to try out and I love tomatoes so if they grow as well as the Purple basil I’ll be very pleased.
