Boah... These firewalls are beginning to destroy what once defined the Internet. I tried to access it from Europe; regular ISP, no VPN or whatsoever.

I have unsubscribed from Hungyroot. They sent ingredients, not prepared dishes. They didn't send anything saying what I'd ordered or how to prepare it. I was sorely disappointed.

I bought an indoor smart garden for veggies, basil and so on.
Since we have no yard and i'm retired i thought i will try that.
Has anyone experience with such things ?

Can’t say about the smart garden. YouTube has a fair amount of videos.
If you want a small herb planting. Try big oversized outdoor containers and put gardening soil in them. My dad has an around 0.9 hectares of land much of it just growing grass.

I have two glass troughs on my kitchen window ledge inside. That forms a natural 'greenhouse' behind the blind:

Just add compost/soil, a selection of seeds, rainwater (to avoid the tap water chemicals salting out), and enjoy your own forever growing selection of fresh herbs...

Easy!

... Also enjoy the beautiful fresh smell from the greenery, especially when freshly cut for your plate!!


Enjoy!

That sounds even better than stepping out of my back door into a sage bush (left) and a rosemary bush (right).
I'm not sure what pollinators are around just now, but the rosemary is covered in fresh flowers (and the sparrows are enjoying themselves stripping the more accessible flower heads)

But it just says: "click & grow". Just kidding.

It is just click and grow.
It has a water tank under the plants.
It lasts 2-3 weeks depends on the plants.

It does state that in the instructions but results will vary. Imho I would check about once a week depending on water usage and evaporation. And if needed clean the water tank and add any needed plant chemicals.

After 2 weeks it looks nice.


Basil is growing great, the Parsley is coming too now.

The letuce is growing fast but one of the mini tomatoes waking up as well.
