Your garden, on a link.

Curry leaves, kaffir lime, lemongrass, perilla, epazote, jujube, fresh turmeric, fenugreek, fresh chiles — what your neighbors hunt for at three different stores. They pick up at your gate.

The way it is now

You already know the friction.

  • You give bunches to friends; you know you could be selling them.
  • You don't want to set up a "farm stand" or deal with permits for $50/week.
  • Your friends keep asking and you keep forgetting to bag some up.

The way it could be

What changes when you list here.

  • A simple weekly menu — Saturday pickup, two-hour window, cash or Venmo.
  • Customers see what is growing this week and reserve a bunch.
  • Recurring buyers — the dashboard recognizes their phone, autofills name + email.

I have curry leaves growing all summer. Three of my neighbors started ordering, then their friends, then their friends. Now Saturdays are 8-10am pickup and I am picking from the garden Friday night. It pays for the seeds and a little more.
