The JoY of Indoor Gardening!
I started with one 50 watt LED light over my indoor garden. I now know, I can grow herbs and veggies year round in a small space and use very little energy.

4 c. Basil......

Success! After months of enjoying my fresh herbs in my cooking, I happily made and enjoyed my pesto!

Pesto
Ingredients: basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil



Fresh picked basil blended together for a most delicious meal! My brother-in-law, my inspiration for cooking, enjoyed some, too!

LED Indoor, Spring Herb Garden


I've been enjoying Basil, Cilantro, and Parsley in my everyday cooking. It is as fresh as it can get. Delicious. Fragrant. Abundance.

Indoor LED Cherry Tomato Garden




Life-Cycle: Seed to Seed
Healthy Life, Healthy Eating
I've planted 12 cherry tomato plants indoors with a 50 Watt LED light. I just changed the light to 12 hours, to start the flowering and fruiting. I planted the seeds the last week of February. They look great--excited to see and taste the fruit they produce!

Pesto!




I have 14 basil plants growing....and my goal is to make delicious Pesto!
I'll keep you updated on this one!

Happy New Year and Welcome Spring!

My first round of Indoor Gardening with an LED light was fun! I harvested and enjoyed tomatoes, peppers, and many different herbs and greens. I learned so much and truly appreciate fresh, right off the plant, organic herbs and veggies!

On to my next project. Right now my focus is on fresh herbs and some greens. It's at the beginning stages, and I've already been enjoying cilantro, parsley, spinach, romaine, and arugula.
