What a fun project for beginning home gardening. I love the idea of putting fresh herbs that I created in my recipes for the family. 🌱 Thank you Spade and Fork! Looking forward to more products.

Great starter kit
I started getting into gardening and found this kit to try out in May. I liked that everything in the kit is recyclable and it's basically just add water and wait. Very simple and easy to do.The seeds for each herb were enough for several batches. There was enough soil for one extra container, which came in handy later as I found watering the pot did cause the soil to be compact and some of the soil washed away at the bottom. In my initial try, all but the thyme did not sprout even after waiting an additional month. I eventually tried digging around the soil to see and found that 3-4 of the seeds had discoloration to greyish-white. Maybe mold from being too damp? However, almost all of them sprouted after sowing a new batch of thyme. I failed to keep my cilantro going for more than 2-3 months due to the hot temperature here, so I'm going to try again in late fall when it would be cooler.I followed the pamphlet, with a few deviations, as my climate was scorching. Also, the temperature here is reaching the mid-90s, so I found that 2 oz or less of water was not helpful. The soil ended up dry and clumping back together, so watering in the morning, afternoon, and sometime in the evening was necessary. However, the rest of the instructions and tips were helpful.One thing to note is that the pots that came with this are like cardboard, but once they get damp, they are easy to tear, so be careful. I accidentally ripped the top rim of one by picking it up there, not the bottom or side.Overall this was a great little kit to get started in gardening. I will probably buy more as a gift for some of my friends.Edit:After a few months of using this kit, I didn't like the peat pots as much as I thought. I find that they suck the moisture out of the soil way quicker compared to when I am using similar size plastic pots, which causes me also to keep constantly watering the plants every day. Also, I don't want to overwater/soak these pots in water due to fear of mold. Once it gets back to spring temperature, I will try to bury these pots to see if they will degrade faster as I will probably stick to my plastic pots.

PLEASE PUT YOUR SPROUTS INSIDE A WELL LIT WINDOW
This is a good indoor herb garden kit. Honestly I bought it because it looked cute and it has all the supplies you need. It is definitely more expensive than buying your own supplies, but the convenience of this kit is awesome! You need to live in a house with a good amount of sunlight for this to work. My sprouts began to fall over because there wasn't enough sunlight and the stems stretched too thin. TIP: PUT YOUR PLANTS INSIDE A WINDOWSILL. The sunlight is much better in a windowsill compared to my sunroom! After I transferred the plants to my window, the sprouts stood back up and are now slowly growing again. They sprouted in the estimated amount of time, some even sprouted early. I also used toothpicks to help stand up the weak sprouts, and now they can stand on their own! The kit is easy to use, and I am hoping the plants will grow strong and established.

Very interesting gift for someone !
I bought this as a gift for a friend who is into cooking. I thought it would be nice to grow her own herbs in her kitchen. She was thrilled as she opened it and looked it over. Can't wait to hear how she does with the herbs !

Meh
Wanted to try one of these and it was kind of fun to set up, but it’s slow and cumbersome. For 1/2 the price I bought established plants at a nursery and have been cooking with them for weeks. Seller is fine, but it’s kind of worthless after a month. My advice, buy the 8 inch, $2 terracotta pots, a bag of potting soil and established plants for 1/2 the price. See above, 6 weeks of this kit versus 2 weeks of my nursery trip that costs less than a half of what this did. Again, wanted to try it, but I want to cook with specific herbs and I don’t want to wait 3 months.

A kit that works, with great info
I highly recommend this kit. It's very high quality, everything has germinated, and it makes me feel like I can actually grow something. The info that comes with it is first rate and 'hand-holding' in the best ways. I live in Hawai'i and I set the seedlings out in the sun during the day, unless it rains (frequent) in which I use a grow light.

Would recommend. Best starter kit I've tried.
This set was to help me with my first ever attempt at a sustainable food garden. The packaging was really cute, and nice. The pamphlet was pretty, and informative. I think for a starter set it was very good. It was better than another vegetable starter kit I got, a strawberry kit, and a catnip kit. So ita the best of 4 I have tried. There was enough soil to fill my four inch pots, the stick labels were nice, uniform, and helpful. I did take things very slow, so planting all 5 took almost an hour. I think soaking the soil in a jar that fits the soil would be more beneficial as my bowl was a little to wide.Update 3/16All 5 have sprouted. They came within 4-11 days. They seem to be going quite strong. They are fairing better than the other kits I got. This could be because herbs are easy starter plants, but I think all the detailed information in the pamphlet really helped. I'll add photos once they are more established.The package did include a garden tool that was wrapped in plastic. I would prefer not to have this in the package, especially for individuals who might purchase future packages like I would prefer to do. It is unnecessary waste. The package did not need the tool, and while it might be good for a larger garden like I would one day hope to have, I think it would be something I could individually get based on my preferences.The sellers seem very nice, and wonderful. I like the message they share with their gardening package. It makes this seem more like a community friendly hobby which I think a lot of gardeners expect it to be.I will keep updating this review as the plants start to grow. At this time I really like the product and the company.
