Grow It, Cook It
A fun, easygoing start to growing a little of your own food, and the simple, tasty things to do with it once it's ready.
Grow It, Cook It
You keep buying $3 bunches of herbs, using a third of one, and throwing the rest out slimy a week later. Everyone says grow your own. Nobody mentions that the first one takes a jar, a sunny spot, and about three weeks.
- Six plants sorted by how long they take: microgreens in 7 to 21 days, lettuce, basil and mint inside a month, strawberries and cherry tomatoes for when you have patience
- Three setups that fit a real home: a jar on a windowsill, a covered tote on a balcony, a small countertop tower, with what each one grows best and how often you touch it
- A five-minute recipe for every plant in the guide, so what you grow actually gets eaten instead of admired
- What the first two weeks really look like, including the stretch where nothing appears to happen and most people decide they killed it

What's inside
The math, in four numbers
A simple jar setup runs about $44 to start. A store bunch of basil is $3 to $4 and wilts inside a week. One page, one honest comparison, no spreadsheet and no hard sell.
Six plants, none of them fussy
Days to harvest for each, plus the one thing that actually goes wrong: lettuce turns bitter above 75 F, mint strangles anything sharing its pot, and a beefsteak tomato needs six feet of headroom you do not have.
Something to cook the same day
Every plant is paired with something you can make in about ten minutes, from rice paper wraps to a strawberry shrub. A harvest you never use is just an expensive houseplant.
Pick one plant, find it a sunny spot, and cook something with it three weeks later. That is the whole guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is this really free?
Yes. No payment and no trial. You get the same 12-page PDF as everyone else, delivered the same way.
Do I need to buy equipment first?
No. A glass jar on a sunny windowsill grows the first plant in the guide. Two larger setups are shown if you want them later, but nothing here requires a purchase to start.
Is it for total beginners?
Yes, it assumes zero gardening experience. This is a guide about starting, not a technical reference, so there is no jargon to get past.

It's a PDF, delivered instantly. Read it on any device or print the plant pages.
