Got this as a secret Santa gift for work. The person I gave it to, told me they’re good at Growling? or was it growing? idk …
In all seriousness, great product and deffo can recommend, made my secret santa very happy 😀
This was bought as a gift, so I have no idea what it’s like inside the box! But the pics and descriptions seemed great. I hope my friend enjoys growing the herbs.
I was so excited to plant these but they all had different planting dates which was something I wasn’t aware of. The chilli grew really well but the others didn’t last. I do not blame the set though, I’m not the best gardener!
Great gift idea bought for my dad and hubby for fathers day to give them a project during winter as they won’t be able to do gardening. They loved them.
I bought this for my dad as a birthday present and he loves it but has recently discovered that the 10 pots that are ment to come with the kit are missing and he is unable to plant the seeds. Please let me know what I can do.
First of all two of the sets of seeds need to go into fridge for 12 weeks but I’ve planted the other 3 sets and also got quite a few extra seeds, 10 Of each so have used a propagation tray I had to plant the extra. I will come back and review in a few months to see if it works.(2nd photo after 8 weeks). Perseverance is key.
Nice little set, you get a good few seeds of each type too which is a bonus…if they germinate
The Cayenne and Jalapeno seeds have grown like wildfire and are already in larger pots 🙂
Next are the Anaheim and Habanero’s which are starting to sprout and so far so good, these just seem to take a little longer
Now the Naga’s…you get much less of these seeds and they also seemed a lot more ‘dry’ in the packet if this makes sense – Needless to say these have done nothing, I’ve even dug a few up to check and not a single tiny root or sprout has occurred and they have had the same attention as all the rest of the seeds
Overall, 4 out of 5 are growing so you get 4 out of 5 stars
I had quite good growth for a few weeks followed by a sudden and seemingly unexplainable death. This could very well be error on my part, its just difficult to know where it went wrong which is why I’ve personally had far more success growing in pots without all the added faff. I think relying on a kit like this means I pay less attention to the plant, my thoughts being that as long as I’ve followed all the guidelines it’ll work out, but life doesn’t work like that, there are no set guides, we need to nurture life, be attentive, pay attention to its individual needs, observe and adapt, this is how we grow, but in many ways this lesson was well worth the money spent on this product despite it not having yielded flowers.
Well packed, and tiny. It’s absolutely good as a gift. I have at least 6-8 seeds per pack, enough to try 2 batches. The “pots” looked cute once they were formed. I like the idea of having different conditions of germination, hence it would be an interesting challenge. My two “winter” plants are in fridge now, and one is in warm water. When I dropped the seeds into water, there was a bubble out, suggesting they are alive seeds, so finger crossed.
Update: After 2 weeks my seeds started to germinate. So happy! So far I’ll have 5 trees: 1 larch, 2 sweet gums and 2 pines.
About the larch, actually I just left the seeds in fridge for few days then soil, but one seed still germinated. I guess the key thing here is they need somewhere warm and sunny to germinate. So good luck to everyone!
Update 2: After about 10 months, I have 3 plants left: 1 pine, 1 larch and 1 sweet gum. They are in pots now. They all survive over the freezing winter with snow of several days. Fingers crossed!
