Nadege writes, "I really needed to hear this again and again. All of this and especially living in a clutter-free environment circles right back to “making the everyday beautiful”. What a gift we’ve been given to alter our environment to create peace and beauty. Thank you for a wonderful video."

Jennifer, I like your countertop garden!🌱 I'm concerned about replacing the lightbulbs as they burn out, and have not been able to tell from the website whether Aero Garden stocks these. Do you have experience needing/finding replacements?
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, We haven't needed to change the bulbs yet. I think they last a very long time... Thanks for watching! ~ Jennifer
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, this is probably a silly question, but I'm not in the habit of using corn in salad, so I have to ask: do you used cooked (and cooled) frozen corn? Or canned corn? Or something else? Thanks! The salads all sound yummy. I want to try them all.
