Back to the Roots New Kitchen Garden Complete Herb Kit Variety Pack of Basil, Mint, and Cilantro Seeds

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 us”, “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. We’re a small team based in Oakland, CA that’s committed to helping you grow. I was provided with no refund nor replacement.

Gree nice. So pretty on kitchen counter and so much herbs.

Updated review. Changed to ⭐⭐⭐. Cilantro was doing great then the next died 2 and unfortunately I was unable to save any of it. Mint turned out to not be mint but lemon balm. And basil is still doing great.Super easy & Had herbs within 5 days of planting.I do have a few concerns which is why I only gave ⭐⭐⭐⭐... The cilantro has mushrooms growing in it (2 so far). Im not sure if something I should keep, removed, or dispose of the whole container. 2/3 also have tiny little bugs. Again not sure if it's somethingthat non harmful to self and plant. Just noted.. other then that I really enjoyed this kit and in a few months plan on making a video based on my experience growing it.

The media could not be loaded. It came with directions and was very easy to set up. The basil started growing first, followed by the cilantro a few days later, but the mint has yet to grow. I sent an email to the seller. I'm sure they will address my problem. You can contact them at: [email protected] if you have any trouble. I will update when they respond.Update: Customer service responded right away and sent replacement mint seeds with no questions asked. Hassle free and I'm pleased to say the new seeds did grow! This is a fun project to do with my 3yr old son. He gets so excited watching them grow! And we will save money on herbs. It's a win-win!!

I've been getting Back to the Roots grow products for a few years now, and to say I love them is an understatement! There's something special about learning to grow your own food products that is simply priceless! Harvesting foods and herbs that you grow yourself is so satisfying :)) The instructions are easy to follow, and the results are amazing! 10/10 recommend this and all the Back to the Roots products!

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.

Ok, so I love to garden and I also know how to germinate seeds. In the old days I would use a paper towel and wet it heavily. Put the seeds between the sheets and put it in an air tight container. The seeds, as long as the paper towel is kept very moist, will germinate and begin to grow. Eventually I could plant them. So, keeping this is mind, it takes water and moisture to germinate a seed, you don't need soil as much as you need moisture! The instructions do not provide for enough water. The soil must be very moist but not puddling. It will take a few days, in sunlight, while ensuring that the soil remains moist, the seeds will begin to germinate and you'll see the plants popping up from the soil. The instructions keep the soil too dry. They do not call for enough water to keep the soil moist, which is why so many people couldn't grow their seeds. All three of mine are growing perfectly, but again, I did NOT follow the instructions in terms of the amount of water. Just make it good and moist and keep it that way, and make sure to put them in the sun. Good Luck!
