Sometimes gardening enthusiasts just can’t garden.  The reasons are many.

It may be that arthritic joints cause the rigors of planting, hoeing, and caring for the garden to be just too burdensome  for those with such protesting bodies.  Other health problems can create similar difficulties for the would be gardener.  It might also be a simple matter of time.  In this busy world there are certainly those who simply lack the necessary time to dedicate to properly maintaining a garden.  Then, of course, there are those who cannot garden because they lack the space to garden.   Apartment dwellers are prime examples of those who might find themselves in this situation.  

Yes, the reasons are many and the solutions are few.

One of the few solutions that does exist, however, is one of which many people may be totally unaware. There is a device called the “AeroGarden“.  The AeroGarden turns the possibility of an indoor garden into a reality.  No soil is required, and little work.  It’s a lamp sized device that can sit on countertop or table.  Water is needed,  as are the appropriate seeds and the company supplied nutrient tablets.  Though some minimal maintenance of the growing plants is required, it’s almost a matter of just sitting back and waiting.

Before you know it, you have fresh greens, ripe cherry tomatoes, or a producing herb garden available to you year round.  It all depends upon what you “plant.”

This certainly will not give you the quantities of vegetables that a large, or even a small outdoor garden could, but it is a way of doing at least a little bit of gardening where you otherwise might not have been able.  It will also allow you to add at least some fresh produce to your food storage, and permit you to make use of “out of season” herbs and vegetables during all seasons of the year.

As a final incentive, it’s also fun to do.  Perhaps you should at least consider it.
