Seeds Kitchen Herb Grow Kit, Metal Planter, Basil Cilantro Chives

My son wanted a growing kit for his birthday. This was a good price. So far, 2 months later, the marigolds are blooming and the tomato stalks are growing. No tomatoes yet, but I think they will be here soon. This is good for beginners, which we are.

Nothing grew. I garden and my child enjoys helping me so I thought this would be a perfect gift. We followed the directions, did everything we normally do to start seeds for our garden, and nothing grew! Very disappointing for both of us.

I planted my seeds with this seed kit 11 days ago and they have sprouted and are growing well. This is a really simple kit, perfect for by a window. This was also a fun and educational activity to do with my 5 year old son as a bit of a science project. We can’t wait to be able to use some fresh herbs in our cooking. I did find a similar kit of the same brand cheaper at Walmart, however it will pay for itself with fresh herbs regardless so I am still satisfied.

Although there are 3 discrete growing medium blocks, there are no pots to put them in, only the metal container. So I bought some peat pots to put the growing medium in so the water could drain. Overall, you get what you pay for.

OK quality. Followed the instructions exactly, planted all the seeds, kept soil moist but not wet, covered with plastic wrap… everything! But only the basil and cilantro grew! So sad I won’t have any chives except this one little sprig that popped up after 2+ weeks already.

Takes time to grow

The seeds must of been old, they didn’t grow at all, very disappointed

Easy to set up.
