You Grow, Girl

New American Garden Kit

Eat your vegetables.

Three words that still conjure frightful memories of being abandoned at the dinner table facing a plate of a thousand brussels sprouts under threat of no dessert. You’d hold your nose, shovel in a few sprouts, and chase them with a glass of milk.

Cut to now: You live on the damn things. Spinach? Double portion, please. Carrots? Helped you quit smoking. Veggies are your lifeline.

Which is why you’ll love the New American Garden Kit. The vegetable patch in a box (soil and sunlight not included) comes with 14 types of seeds (like snap peas, golden zucchini, bush cucumbers, baby carrots, cut-‘n’-come again lettuce, baby beets, purple beauty peppers, dwarf broccoli, and tiny tomatoes) and a full-color instruction booklet that makes growing a garden as easy as pie.

Which, while we’re on the subject, probably wouldn’t be such a bad idea every once in a while.

After your sprouts, of course.
