Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden Kit with Grow Light | Easier Than Hydroponics Growing System | Smart Garden for Home Kitchen Windowsill | Vegetable & Herb Garden Starter Kit with 9 Plant pods, Gray

I moved to US about 20 years ago from far east region of Russia. Growing up my mom took me to the outside of the town to gather wild strawberries with bunch of relatives multiple times during the summers. In fact it was the sweetest berries you can get in the wild in my region.I enjoyed the harvest all the time. Furthermore she would brew wild strawberry jam and collect the jars in the basement for winter. It was memorable event every time the single jar gets put on the table during cold season! When I came to US I learnt the nobody cares about wild strawberries. The only place that sells the tinny jam jars was authentic east European stores. A single exporter to US was Belorussian company. And it was enough until recently. Then the sets of sanctions against Russia and Belorussia gets implemented again and again. Most of the Russians don’t care about wild strawberries but I do! Soon I could not find any wild strawberry jam for sale at all.I started looking into growing this plant and cooking the jam myself, just to remember my childhood. But being IT professional I don’t enjoy physical garden work and wild strawberries are not that spreader in NJ state wilderness where I live. I turned my attention to this product. I get to grow wild strawberries indoors for close to nothing effort! I hope I can get enough berries to brew a pound of wild strawberry jam! If this plan works I will be happy. I had first garden for a month and I see my plants are growing. I am still anxious to see the flowers and the berries. I decided to purchase a second garden. Perhaps I will buy more in the future.The only thing for improvement is that the pods are small and limited to 4 months of growth. I wish there was an option (for more invested customers) where I can grow one pod for 6 months and longer. I would buy advanced option with bigger pods.Overall I recommend this product.Thanks!

I had reservations, but the Click and Grow Garden has been awesome in my apartment kitchen. I love plants and have wanted fresh herbs, but with low sunlight and the blackest of thumbs (mostly forgetting to water) no option has worked. Easy to keep watered, especially with the floating indicator for water level -- even I can grow fresh herbs with this system!!Every morning my kid and I look excitedly for the latest plant development (literally) - what's sprouted, what the leaves and stems look like, how they grow. It's pretty exciting, and educational.The herbs all sprouted but cilantro (which is a known finicky plant to sprout). The lettuce grew so fast and so high! It was the monster crowding out other plants, so I popped its pod out using the label tab, and swapped with another plant. It was that easy! I bought a small packet of cilantro seeds and added them to the lagging cilantro pod and - whether it was the old or new seeds I don't know - soon had little seedlings. The dwarf pea plant was throwing out little vine tendrils so I taped a green ribbon over the grow light bar and to the pod, as a mini trellis - good thing it's getting huge and would crowd the other plants, and this way it is growing how it likes.Their customer service pinged me to check up on how it was working and anything they could do. (Excellent customer support!) I appreciated that touch, and felt like they really cared about making sure customers were happy.I had tried the AeroGarden, but it was bulky - taking up counter space - and ugly and stopped working. The Click and Grow has much more minimal lights, which I believe is LED or something similarly low power draw.In short, I love the Click and Grow Garden!

Easy to use. Every pod had multiple seeds that sprouted into strong healthy plants. After 4 weeks, the basil, pak choi, and red kale are over 5 inches tall, the mibuna is 7 inches tall. The tomato and chili peppers will take longer to grow, but look strong and healthy. The green lettuce sprouted beautifully, too, we ate that last night. My intention is to transplant some of the longer lasting plants (chili peppers, herbs, tomatoes, etc) when they grow bigger.Some suggestions:1) If your plants are growing too close to the grow lights, consider buying extension arms (1 set) directly from Click and Grow. Inexpensive. I don't think the extension arms are sold on Amazon.2) The official Click and Grow website seems to have more variety of pods than through Amazon. Check it out, same price, but you may have to pay for shipping.3) Had an issue with mold and, while they say it's harmless, it just doesn't look very nice. I gently scraped it off, pulled the plant cups from the garden (keeping the pods/plants in the cups) to dry out over night and sprinkled ground cinnamon on the cup opening where the soil is exposed and popped them back in. This was on the website (you can dry them out 1-2 days) and seems to be working. Will follow another reviewer's advice to put damp rid near the garden.With being home so much due to pandemic, it has been a joy to watch them grow from seeds and enjoy tasty herbs and veg. And it'll be wonderful to have things green and growing during the winter. Have little direct sunlight in this house, so growing thing indoors has been hard. Not anymore!

I have had this going for five weeks. Easy to setup and it works with the pods. However, mold is a big problem for some of the pods, not all of them got moldy, but, several did. The plants were large enough to be planted at that point. That’s the reason for four stars. Be aware this can happen.

Everything is growing as promised. Sprouts everywhere

First time purchasing a Click and Grow and not disappointed. Easy assembly and all pods germinated. Will buy more to add to my indoor gardening.
