Sun-turning herb carousel

Turn windowsill herbs a little each day so they grow straight

Herbs on a windowsill lean towards the glass. This round planter holds three pots on a ball-bearing turntable, so a third of a turn each morning keeps basil, parsley and mint growing straight and even. TURN DAILY is a reminder on the front.
