I have seen many friends starting to talk about planting their gardens or posting pictures of the beautiful flowers that are blooming. Well, In Michigan… nothing much is really happening. It is finally starting to get out of the 30s, so gardening wasn’t in the cards … YET. Until I recently received a GrowBox to get a Jump Start to my Summer Garden.

It is SO nice to be able to think that Spring is Here and Summer will be on the way. And you know what that means? It means Fresh Veggies! Last year I got to plant a pretty decent size garden… But we will be moving before the summer is over, So this year we are keeping the Growing Simple. That’s where the Grow Box comes in PERFECTLY! have learned that cooking with Fresh Garlic and Parsley has made a HUGE difference in Flavor of our meals… So that is what you will be seeing in the Grow Box. This box came in 2 separate pieces, which snap together and stay in place (If you receive yours and it doesn’t seem to stay right, just add dirt – haven’t had any problems since). Lil C LOVED helping plant this small garden. Especially when it came to planting the seeds!
Because this is freshly planted, we did a quick “Water Shower” (compliments to my hunny). I love how easy this is to maintain. It was created for People JUST LIKE ME (the busy on the go, but love fresh foods person) I cant wait to see everything starting to grow! I’ll be posting updates when they start growing!!!
One Reader has the chance to win a Grow Box. Dont forget to follow on Facebook and Pinterst.
*I received a grow box in exchange for this review. All opinions are 100% my own.
haha great photos, and post 🙂 good luck with your plants 🙂
A very good idea – I do not have much room in the apartment but have a good landing area that gets sun. I will try planting and hope to be successful! Thanks.
This is making me think of how I can have a garden without getting on the ground. Containers do answer a lot of my questions.. thanks for the tips and thoughts.
I tried container gardening a couple of years ago, and got a little success but most of the stuff dried up even though I went out and watered it daily. Not to mention the weeds that overtook them. This sounds like my last hope for having a garden 🙂
I live in an apt and have no room for a garden…..This would be perfect!
Living in the Midwest, I decided to start my own garden…well I wanted to start my own garden last year, but I didn’t because I was always afraid a cold front would come and freeze my plants during the planting season. I never thought about this. This seems like a very good product to try out.
LOL, i have that same concern right now… especially since i planted it this weekend, and it’s outside…and looking at the forecast, they are saying snow possible Friday night!!
I container garden but never get much of a harvest because I have a bit of a black thumb. I think I need this lol!
So far, it seems SUPER Easy to use!
What a great idea!! Especially for people like me who can’t grow anything! I love this idea and will be looking into this product!
I love this. I think I might have to get one for my porch. I am doing a raised bed, but it would be nice to have more growing space. Thanks for sharing!
what i great idea!!!! i may try this then maybe my flowers will live lol…….. no green thumb here
I learned last year I could grow cherry tomatoes… And there was NO killing it! …I also learned, that i really didn’t like the taste of cherry tomatoes
not a big fan of cherry tomato either every now and then you get a sweet one but they are mostly tasteless!hope 2 win one so i can grow big slicer and bigger peppers
Looks like a great growing system.
This would be perfect for a friend who wants to grow tomatoes, but has no garden space, only a small deck!
It sounds so simple I think maybe even I could do it! I love the idea of having this right on my patio too so I could easily access it and take the food right into the kitchen for a fresh meal! Thank you for the post and I’m entering the giveaway!
This time of the year, we are longing for something (anything! ha!) green and alive, so this would be a fun project.
Fresh kitchen herb garden coming right up. 🙂
That looks really cool. I’d like to get some fruits growing on my porch…
I never thought of using it for more than one item as a time. I do agree that cooking with fresh ingredients definitely makes a difference in food taste & quality. We love to grow tomatoes and basil and have bruschetta.
I just planted some today! I have no idea what will come up because it was a surprise pile of seeds. Can’t wait to find out. Hope they bloom.
I love this I use to do it the old way save up trays and plant in them then transplant them to those containers that disappear when you plan them directly in the ground……………..Thanks for the great review.
I love, love, love the idea! We live in a condo and this is just the thing we need!
Fresh curry leaves coming right up!!!!
I so want one of these for my front porch, I love that all the thinking is done for you.
So Do I! lol, Because this summer, with a wedding and moving in plan, Thinking is the last thing on my mind. 😀
Container gardening is so my thing. I love this and can’t wait to start a Grow Box!
We live in an apartment, even though its small we have started a small aquaponics in the dinning/kitchen area. So far we have a few things sprouting but since the weather had been cold not much as of yet.
thanks for that post, i have learn a lot, im gonna start one becauce it will Improve my family’s health and i will save money, its a good hobbie
I love this idea! I really want an entirely raised garden! I love the way it looks!
I would love a few of these to grow different varieties of tomatoes and peppers.
I’ve never heard of a growbox before! I will definitely look into them!
As a renter, I can’t put in a full garden, so I make do with a few pots. This looks like it would really boost my meager harvest. Thanks for the review!
I can’t believe how easy this is and how much you can grow in it (I thought it was just for tomatoes the 1st time I saw it) I really hope to try one on my apartment deck this year since I won’t be able to do a garden. great post/review-thanks!!!
This is great! I love that it’s so simple to divide the plants! Would be a great herb box!
These things are marvelous. here in SoCal where plants can get dried out or be over-watered by yours truly these plants that self regulate hydration and plant food are a wonder. they are really good for pepper plants.
I hadn’t heard of these before, but they sound awesome! I will have to check them out, I think they would be perfect for my mini-garden on my balcony!
I have a brown thumb for sure, but dream of tending a beautiful garden. This grow box looks like a great way for me to achieve that dream! Thanks for the information.
This looks like the perfect garden for me this year! We still have a foot of snow on the ground-on May 4! Because of the weather, I would love something that could be moved inside the garage if temps got low.
