During his 42-year reign as king of Babylon, Hammurabi enacted a code of law based on these basic tenets: do not covet thy neighbor's hanging garden, and if the ziggurat is rocking don't come a-knocking. Quash jealousy and grow your own squash with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a garden box from Harvest to Home, a $55 value. Harvest to Home will deliver and install your garden anywhere within a 30-mile radius of Newport Beach. Anywhere outside of this area is subject to a $25 delivery charge.

Every box comes brimming with the season's best herbs and vegetables. Currently, you can choose from a bevy of peppers, including chocolate bells, jalapeños, and banana, as well as an entire submarine torpedo bay full of zucchinis. Check out the current crop here. You can also infuse your box with pluckable herbs such as five varieties of basil, several flavors of mint, and more rosemary, sage, and lemon thyme than you could possibly crust just one chicken with. If you wish to raise your very own cucumbers or tomatoes, you must purchase the requisite stands and trellises, which are not included in the value of this deal.

Every box arrives wrapped in protective plastic that keeps out weeds and helps the soil retain moisture. Planted in organic potting mix and fertilizer, every fruit o' the chloro-loom is tasty beyond compare. You can even choose to have your box equipped with a wooden stand and an automatic watering system (for an additional fee) so you never have to attend to a whiny, self-centered stalk. Call ahead to schedule delivery.
