The kit arrived VERY quickly, and I got planting right away. The little peat pellets are a very clever way to start seedlings. I’ll be using them more in the spring to start my regular garden. The instructions vary for each different type of seed, and most of my seeds sprouted quickly. There was one that didn’t come up, but there is plenty of additional starter pellets and seed to do a second, and maybe even a third planting, so no worries. The little seedlings are growing every day! It’s pretty fun

The instructions are very thorough! Very cool kit, especially for the price. My first seeds are starting to sprout! Basil came up first. Can’t wait to start cooking!

I received this kit over a month ago. I followed the directions pretty closely, although I wouldn’t call myself a green thumb. Everything sprouted but about half of the seedlings didn’t make it in the long run. Certain plants seem more hardy: cilantro, mint, oregano, chives and basil all have since been transplanted and are doing well. This is a great, easy way to start herbs from seed and the tray is reusable. It also comes with more of the starter “pods” than will actually fit in the tray, so you can always try a second batch later after you have transplanted the first batch to larger containers.

Perfect product for anyone who does not have a yard to plant in, and also for anyone who likes fresh herbs in the convenience of their home year-round!

...it's really difficult to put this set together. I thought it would be similar to the chia herb garden. Or, a bit more upper level.

First, you have to soak the seeds. Have you ever tried getting tiny, tiny seeds out of water and then to try burying them in small "go go gadget" growing pellets?

It's hard. I am not dumb but felt that way in trying to get this together. I just hope I did it right and that my plants grow! We'll find out in 3 weeks! Rating: 2 / 5
