sorry if you misunderstood
i am just growing sprouts at home right now.
but the sprouts grow into actual little plants when homegrown.
as far as gardening i used to grow most all my own veggies and herbs. before i had a life incident that prevented me
from continuing that,
so this past winter as in many years recently,
i have had to rely on grocery store produce buying.
i am currently doing some checking into growing my veggies
in house near a sunny window.
to avoid all the furry critters and bird and insects
we have here as well.
if you do grow a garden outside with furry pests,
there is a link i can give you
that will give you a non toxic phermone of tha tanimals most feared predator..
you sprinkle it on ground around area you want them to stay away from.
