It's been almost 2 weeks and the mint hasn't sprouted yet. It takes a little while. But the cilantro and basil sprouted immediately and are doing excellent. I keep them on my bedroom windowsill because it's cool at night and in the mornings around other areas in my house but this spot is a great, consistent warm temp. I mixed the cilantro and basil together bc they are great for coplanting and help each other thrive. I recommend these seeds, plus you can buy them with EBT which is great for low-income folks!

Product seemed cheap and comes with barely any seeds. Nothing grew for me but cilantro and I’ve been landscaping since I was a kid and have grown several herbs and plants. I also have a plant light and misted them properly every other day with light mist. When contacting Amazon about this simply to get new seeds sent to me or a refund/replacement, Amazon could not return or help and when I asked to be directed to the seller they simply said “it is usâ€, “we are the seller†but then told me to contact the seller for Assitance once I demanded a phone call for assistance. Cause that makes sense. Maybe if they got people that spoke English and understood English and problems, they could’ve helped me but instead they were absolutely the opposite of helpful. Long story short, save your time and money and just go to Wal-Mart and get seeds and soil for $10 and have the ability to grow 50 times what this kit provides for less money. You’re welcome. By the way, this is in the description so I’m fitting to sue:MADE IN THE USA & 100% TO GROW: All Back to the Roots Indoor Gardening Kits are backed by our 100% to Grow promise – if your kit doesn't grow as described, we'll replace it or provide a refund.

My kids enjoy watching the seeds grow into plants. Also, learning responsibility by watering them everyday. Wonderful gift.

Sprouted and worked well.... for a while. But they run out quickly if not used right away. They need to be seeded often.

I've tried growing microgreens hydroponically and in plastic trays, but THIS is the only kit that's reliably given me good microgreen harvests for days. I started one new tray a day until all six were growing for me. I hate how much counter space it takes up to have multiple trays going simultaneously, but I can't stay mad about that when I'm adding microgreens to almost every meal and they grow much better than any other method. These are fine left out on the counter and misted a few times a day with a spray bottle of water, and don't seem to grow any better near grow lights, so it's very easy peasy. When I finished a tray with sugar snap pea microgreens, I planted what was left (the compostable tray with coco coir and roots) in the garden and they've started growing into full sized plants out there--what a treat, that will give me more "free" seeds to use as microgreens! I wish I could find a set-up that didn't require ordering more parts every time (coco coir or trays), but I can't argue with how good the results were with this.

I have bought this kit twice. The first time was a fail and I emailed customer service. I went through an inconvenient process of emailing for more seeds. After providing screenshots I received new seeds. The new pack of seeds didn't grow but I thought it was due to my lack of experience. Its been about a year and I have gotten better at gardening so I decided to try this kit again. I am still waiting for the seeds to sprout but as I was watering them I noticed all 3 cans were covered in tiny lil white mites. I am disappointed at this point because now I am worried for the safety of my other plants. I have been sharpening my gardening skills with a water garden system. I wont name the brand but Back to the Roots is such poor quality in comparison. I do like the mushroom kits tho. Ive tried pretty much all their products and the mushrooms are the best. I hope they get their quality up to par because the business concept has great potential. Ive gotten experience but my results have been terrible.12/28/2022 Update: 2 out of 3 cans have sprouted but they also have mushrooms growing right along with them. Ill do another update later and actually post pictures of results.

Preis Leistung stimmt gar nicht! Für eine kleine, Keramikschale fast 25 Euro? Das steht in keinem Verhältnis. Das Zubehör (Samen und Pflanzpetty) ist auch total wenig. Nicht der Rede wert.Sehr enttäuschend!

The instructions were super easy, grew nice and quick and the little white dish meant it didn't feel cheap... Two months in and the soil has gone mouldy so we've had to chuck it away
