not what i expected
i still have 3 of the pots that the herbs are doing good. I have used some of the basil and thyme for dressings. I was disappointed that there were no holes in the pots, but it may not have been necessary for clay pots to have holes since they are porous, just not what I am used to. Also, the soil reminded me wet saw dust and not soil at all. I was not sure how much to water them and I overwatered one of them to where the water was standing on the top and went to tip it over slightly to drain the water off and the whole thing came out ... I just used some of my potting soil in it and put some more seeds in to grow and they never did grow - it was the cilantro. The chives never did come up. There was supposed to be enough seeds for a couple of plantings, but that is not what I received. It is a really sturdy stand and looks pretty on the counter in the kitchen. I would not recommend it.

Not much growth
I purchased this herb set for my mother-in-law's birthday and she informed me that she did not have much luck with some of the herbs growing. She said the presentation of the herbs on the accompanying stand adds a nice touch to one's counter space. Maybe more light was needed.

disappointed
I was so excited, after 2.5 weeks I started to see my herbs peeping through the soil, except for one which did not grow at all. But I was happy regardless...and just like that they died. I kept reading on what to do, where to put them, how much to water them, whether to keep them indoors or outdoors, but no matter what I did they just died.

They are growing slowly but surely.
I bought this product and although I am very disappointed at how long it is taking to grow, at least they are growing. It has been 3 weeks and I am just seeing little stems with tiny leaves peeping out of the soil.

Great product
I was trying to decide whether buying my own pots and seeds would be cheaper. Nope. Thats why I bought this and it saves space by having that stacking stand thing. Great little product. I potted them up last night, comes with soil that you add water too and you have more soil that you can imagine. Very pleased. And box said they are gauranteed to grow - fantasic!
