Nearly three\u00a0weeks ago, we showed you the Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL <\/a>and how we put it together to begin growing our indoor garden. \u00a0We put in the plant pods, placed water in it’s bin, and nourished it with some Miracle-Gro nutrients. \u00a0We then plugged it in and have done nothing with it, except add more nutrients just a few days ago.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u00a0want to show you the progress of our AeroGarden indoor garden and give you a few more details about the AeroGarden 3SL. \u00a0Here is what our indoor garden looks like today:<\/p>\n

Once we plugged in the AeroGarden 3SL cord, the light came on right away. \u00a0It’s a pretty bright light. \u00a0It stays on for 18 hours to give plants their much needed light. \u00a0Then, it shuts off. \u00a0The AeroGarden 3SL has a built-in timer so it turns on and off without you having to worry about it. \u00a0I put my AeroGarden 3SL in the room off our garage, so when we come in at night, we rarely need to turn on the light, since the AeroGarden 3SL illuminates a good portion of the room.<\/p>\n

In addition, we all love coming home and are immediately drawn to the light, eager to see how our plants are growing. \u00a0I started our indoor garden\u00a0with\u00a0three salad mix greens. \u00a0Two are taking off and one has been a slow start from the beginning. \u00a0I recently realized that I needed to turn the plant next to my weakling plant, as it was shading the poor little plant. \u00a0I’m hoping it will flourish soon.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing is once the leaves get close enough to the light, the AeroGarden 3SL instructions state that you should clip\u00a0the plant back rather than raise the light up higher, which is possible to do, by the way. \u00a0Although, I think I’d like my leaves a little more fuller, so I anticipate raising the light a little bit more first before I cut.<\/p>\n

The AeroGarden 3SL is a fun amusement to have around, especially in the winter. \u00a0At a time when things are dying outside due to inclement weather, it’s been such a pleasure to watch our \u00a0young seedlings grow into full green robust plants. When we plant things outside, we have a tenancy to forget about them until 1-2\u00a0months later! \u00a0And of course, by the time we rememberthem, the whole garden area is filled with weeds!<\/p>\n

There are no weeds with the AeroGarden 3SL. \u00a0We don’t have to worry if the sprinkler system is working, whether there is too much shade, or even pesky bugs to eat the fruits of our labor. \u00a0In fact, there’s really not much labor!<\/p>\n
