For my birthday, my sisters surprised me with the best gift ever: a visit from one of my favorite shops, Sprout Home. In just a few weeks, a team will come to my apartment and plant heirloom tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, basil, and dill — and show me how to care for them. A few months from now, I’ll have a crop to call my own.
