thanks I was so happy to see them pop up so fast. There like the ones you planted the mammoth ones.

Mine had to fight for their lives for the first few weeks I had them. I had a bad grasshopper problem and I lost a few seedlings. In April most of the sunflowers didn't look too well but I'm surprised at their resilience

Sherry and Janan! I can't believe what you both did! I got a package today and I was wondering who it was from and I was afraid to open it. I started jumping up and down because I'm still in disbelief! OMG thank you both so much from the bottom of my heart, I feel like crying right now. Both of you are incredibly sweet and wonderful people! I'm very blessed to have you both as friends.
I can't wait to show my mom. I'm really about to cry.

how cool is that

[The Hollyberry Lady]

So glad you got it, Cameron!!! We thought you might.


Now look, I only paid for half of it, but JaNan did ALL the work. She is the one who put this all into action. I mentioned to her about getting you one and she said she was thinking the same thing, so we agreed to pay half each. We were hoping you'd get it for your birthday so that's just great.


Now, even though it's used, it'll work like a charm. JaNan bleached it and worked hard to clean it. Don't worry about the slight discoloration...the plants will grow and cover it anyway.


Now you are an official aero-gardener!


Let's wait for JaNan to return and partake in the festivities! Oh she'll be so happy! Now do you see why we were teasing you about a secret and about your getting an aero-garden?!


Happy Birthday, Cam. Hope you enjoy.


JaNan, where are you?!


I just got finished with the girls. We ordered Chinese in, instead of going out. I took pics...


Going to see fireworks later.


: )

[Willow87]

Thank you both. I have some really great friends! I showed my family and they were amazed at it. I have it set up and have the little seed pods in it. I still can't believe it. Now I can grow plants in my bedroom, I'm so happy Sherry and Janan. I can't thank you both enough. I wish I could invite you over. I'll take are picture of it. Thank you again. I can't wait to see the plants grow and since they are edibles that's a definite bonus.
I hope you have fun with the fireworks. I wish I had some Chinese food. Its my favorite.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh you're so welcome, Cam.


JaNan is just the biggest sweetheart and she got right on finding you one quickly so you could have it in time for your birthday. She went to meet a stranger and picked it up, then she slaved to clean it so nicely for you, and then she packaged it up and drove it to the post office!!! What an absolute doll she is!


I have so much more to say but let's wait for the lady who made this all happen, first. I know you're excited though, Cam. Me too.


Don't look in the dinner thread when I post shots of the Chinese food, Cam.


: )

[Willow87]

Both of you are so wonderfully nice. I keep going into my room to look at my aerogarden. I just can't believe I have one. I can't wait to pick my own peppers and mint. I better not look at the dinner thread then LOL.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I think everyone should have one! They're too awesome.


Ok so did you see the Chinese food? It was too good.


I'm excited because I sowed seeds in my aero-garden today for Arbutus Unedo...otherwise known as "Strawberry Tree". I can't wait for it to sprout!


So glad you're excited, Cam. JaNan will be so thrilled. Oh I can't wait for her to return...


How does it feel to be an aero-gardener, Cam? Fall & Wintertime will be less boring.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Happy Birthday Cameron!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

There she is...that lady that made it all happen!


JaNan, you are just the best for doing this for Cam. He is sooooooo happy. Hope you've read all the posts here about it...and saw pics of my Chinese food!


Oh and check out the aero-garden thread...Cam posted a shot of it! Also when you can, read my latest a-g posts as well...I think you'll be very interested.


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Greg...


Are you into the aero-garden? I want you to get one as well.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

I get home and everyone LEAVES!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

No, I'm here JaNan...but I'm leaving shortly!


Going to see some fireworks but won't be too late.


Enjoy your aero-garden, Cam!


Chat soon...


: )

[Willow87]

Thank you again Janan and Sherry! I'm so glad that I'm an aero gardener now. I have the mini jalapeno the red fire pepper, the super hot purple peppers, dill, parsley and mint. I really look forward to the mint. I appreciate what you both have done. Even my brother is showing interest in it and he doesn't know much about plants lol. I think after these, I want to grow some fragrant flowers , perhaps marigolds. I have been checking it several times even though nothing is growing yet lol

[Jananas Bananas]

You're very Welcome Cam! I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I really, really love all of mine. There is something very rewarding about it.

I know you are probably in bed by now and Sherry is watching fireworks, but she will probably pop back in after while.

I am so glad you got it for your birthday! It made me cry when Sherry told me you already received it. I was soooooo relieved!!!

Have a great evening!

~JaNan

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Fireworks were great!


So yeah, Cam, why don't you grow some marigolds this cycle? Get that dill out of there! Who wants to waste a pod on dill when they could be enjoying blooms!


We just wanted you to have the sponges but you can remove the seeds in them and sow what you want. It's your aero-garden so you should choose what to grow, like JaNan and I did with ours. You don't have to grow what came with your kit...I think JaNan mentioned too.


Mint is invasive and it's better in a pot. I say you forget about mint also and grow something more cool in there that's not going to hog all the food away from everybody else!


Mint's nice but wouldn't you love to see something more colorful, with fruits or flowers? Not trying to take over your A-G, but rather to plant ideas in your mind!


Just some suggestions. JaNan and I changed our minds 20 times before finally deciding what to grow. Wouldn't those blue cornflowers be adorable in the A-G? Hint, hint.


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'll likely be busy with pals and might even miss your birthday Cam, but I should be free by Sunday night, so I'll try to pop in when I can.


Hope everyone has a super fabulously fantastic long weekend!


Cam, have the happiest birthday ever. Enjoy 24!


I love your new aero-garden Cam...and just feel so happy that you have it. You'll fall asleep with a smile tonight and you'll have sweet dreams about all your future aero-plants!


You are an Aero-Gardener now!!! Yipppeeeeeeee!


I can't wait to see your stuff as it germinates and develops. It's the gift that keeps on giving back to everyone of us.


So I should hit the hay...early day tomorrow. Talk again real soon...


G'night everyone.
