Miracle-Gro Gro-Ables Update & Giveaway

We love having our own garden.  Dave finds working in the garden relaxing as well, so whenever he has a chance to do a little planting, watering, or weeding he’s on it. He usually leaves the picking to me which is perfect because it’s my favorite part!

Groables Review

This post is sponsored by Miracle-Gro and Seed Pods were received.

Being able to pop out into the yard and pick fresh herbs and veggies to include in dinner that evening is fun and delicious. That’s why I am excited to work with Miracle-Gro and their Gro-Ables Seed Pods.

Gro-Ables are seed pods that provide an ideal growing environment for your seed. Each ready to plant seed pod contains growing materials, plant food, and a seed. There are 17 varities of Gro-ables and I selected:

  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Globe Tomatoes
  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Smooth Leaf Spinach
  • Zucchini Squash
  • Straight Cucumber
  • Basil
  • Cilantro
  • Dill

The Gro-Ables are really easy to use. Simply peel back the label, read the simple directions, plant them, add water, and watch them grow.

Groables Instructions

Groables Seed PodI originally wanted to plant these in our garden that does really well every summer. However, winter just wouldn’t leave us here in Cleveland. In fact, even though it is May now I heard the weatherman say recently that we aren’t out of the freezing zone yet. Can you believe it? May and even though it’s been in the 70’s the last few days we are still waiting for that one last freeze.

That’s why I thought it would be fun to bring our gardening indoors this year. I didn’t want to take the chance of losing them the Gro-Ables to frost so I bought some cute pots and set up a window garden in our kitchen.

Kitchen GardenI think it looks great and is something we have never done before and it’s added a nice touch to our kitchen.  As you can see the herbs and veggies are doing great.

Kitchen Window GardenWhile I love having the window garden, once the weather stays warm and that last freeze passes we’ll move the tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini outside. I can just imagine them taking over our kitchen! I do think I’ll leave the herbs inside however. They’ve added some pretty color to the kitchen this year and it’s been a nice way to mix things up a bit.

Kitchen Garden Herbs

KitchenGarden Herbs & VeggiesI’ve enjoyed using the Miracle-Gro Gro-Ables Seed Pods and that’s why I’m excited to offer the giveaway below.

WIN IT!

One reader of 2 Wired 2 Tired will win a variety of 9 Miracle-Gro Gro-Ables Seed Pods.

  41. April V. says

    May 29, 2014 at 5:35 am

    I would definitely put them out in our backyard – I might have to rig some sort of shade for them though because our backyard gets a LOT of sun until late afternoon so might be too much for veggies and herbs.

    May 24, 2014 at 6:08 pm

    A couple of years agomy Honey/Hubby built three raised garden beds in our back yard (partly – I suspect – so there would be less lawn to mow!) Anyway, for the past two years he has tried growing herbs and root vegetables – without much luck. We’ve switched to growing the herbs in pots and there are so many bunnies around – we just kind of gave up on the carrots….

    I’d love to try these Miracle-Gro-Gro-Ables in these raised beds either in pots or in the ground. Thanks Tesa!

  105. Heather! says

    May 24, 2014 at 4:44 pm

    Our office area has great windows with sills, perfect for a window garden !

  106. Debbie Welchert says

    Some I would plant in the garden and others I would put out on my deck to grow.

  107. Arthur Caudill says

    May 24, 2014 at 4:25 pm

    The kitchen in our house gets the most sun, that’s where I would put them. Thank you

  108. Patricia Wojnar Crowley says

    May 24, 2014 at 2:22 pm

    I would do herbs in our patio and everything else in one of our six raised beds.

  111. Carl L Smith Jr says

    May 24, 2014 at 2:03 pm

    We have a space on our porch which faces East and gets great light where we start our plants. We then transfer them to our garden bed .

  112. Alana Vester says

    May 24, 2014 at 2:03 pm

    I would start them in my kitchen, I have the perfect window for sunlight. I would then move them by the side of my house where I have a few things planted.

  113. Heather B says

    May 24, 2014 at 1:53 pm

  119. Vee says

    May 24, 2014 at 11:08 am

    Oh I forgot to add that I would start them inside and these transfer to big planters. Too many people walk thru our yard and I read that planting in pots would deter the rabbits from eating the plants.

  120. Vee says

    May 24, 2014 at 11:06 am

    I have been wanting to try these groables. I am a new gardner and was wondering if these pods were GMO….

  125. Anna Pry says

    May 24, 2014 at 9:16 am

    I would have to try growing them indoors like you did

  126. Connie Lee says

    May 24, 2014 at 8:53 am

    These would be a great option for two of my daughters who still are in apts. They could grow some veggies on their balconies!!

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
