I may have mentioned before how I have the inverse of a “green thumb” and am adept at killing even cacti. But since I’m not a huge fan of ingesting pesticides, I would love to be able to grow at least some veggies and herbs on my own. But of course, in addition to my Lame Thumb, I live in a city apartment, where there is no sun and no foliage. That’s why I’m lusting after this kitchen-gardening system– using what they call Adaptive Growth Intelligence, automatic light and water/ nutrient adjustments, this indoor garden lets you grow full-sized fruit, veggies and herbs all year round without any trouble or guesswork. This would also make the perfect gift for your mom (hint, hint: Mother’s Day is Sunday).
