Our latest purchase
Today we finally received the one parcel we have been most anxiously waiting to arrive!! Welcome our new Aerogarden.
We really enjoy cooking and wanted to increase our ability to use fresh herbs/produce. There are a wide variety of options to grow in these things. We are looking to possibly purchase a few, but we figured we try out 1 for now and purchase more if it actually works well. This time we are growing Herbs (Mint, Thyme, Oregano, Chives, Basil and Dill). Apparently the Basil will sprout in 3 – 7 days. So we will patiently wait and see if it’s true.

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.

Hi there…I saw these in Canadian Tire and was thinking they might be a nice add on for my move to Arviat. Let me know please if they are worth the purchase. Also I have loved reading your blog. Thanks a ton for having it.

I noticed that some are annuals and some are perennials. I presume the annuals you will have to replace from time to time but the perennials will continue to grow as long as you want. Once they are too big for the pod do you transplant them in to regular size pots?

We don’t know exactly how it all works. We’ll learn by trial and error. I do know that they do have a growth life…I believe it’s up to a couple of months worth of harvesting. We haven’t thought about trying to grow them outside of the pods. We do have a “living herb station” that we can keep the harvested herbs in.

What is a living herb station?

It’s just a “pot” that we can keep the cut herbs in in water…..

You will have to let us know how it works.
