A free 12-page guide to growing a little of your own food, and the simple, tasty things to do with it once it’s ready.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

• Six easy plants. None of them fussy, with days to harvest and the one thing that actually goes wrong for each: 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, and a small countertop tower, with what each one grows best and how often you touch it.

• The simple math, in four numbers. A jar setup runs about $44 to start. A store bunch of basil is $3 to $4 and wilts inside a week.

• 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.
