Can't wait to get my first cherry tomatos, so far they are growing like the book states.

I have to say I'm incredibly disappointed with this seed kit. First, neither cilantro pod even sprouted. I went to the Aerogarden website and got replacement pods, but they don't offer a replacement for cilantro, so my garden is not likely to be very "South of the Border". In addition, the only two pods that are really growing are the globe basil and epozate. The thyme, parsley and oregano are a pathetic bunch of sprouts that are beginning to turn brown after four weeks. I'm following the directions and just finished a successful garden, so it's not like I'm doing anything wrong. These gardens are supposed to be idiot-proof, at any rate. I would not bother purchasing this seed kit in the future.
 I must be doing something wrong July 7, 2008

I love the idea of this product but I am definitely doing something wrong. I've tried 3 seed kits and I haven't had a terrific amount of luck. If all that you're interested in is basil, you have it made. Not much else seems to grow very well. My chives were a failure as were my purple basil, cilantro, and parsley. I called and complained to the company and they were kind enough to send to me another seed pack. The sweet basil flourished but everything else pretty much floundered.
Truth be told, I would recommend growing your own basil, parsley, rosemary, cilantro, and chives during the warmer months. If you're fortunate enough to live in a large city, you can buy herbs from your grocery store for a relatively low price during the off seasons. I live in Houston and our Central Market sells organic herbs for $.99/bunch. I wrap my herbs in paper towels and bag them in plastic bags the day that I purchase them. They last for a few weeks. I definitely get my money's worth without having to spend a bundle on an Aerogarden. One caveat though, buy basil and use it within 3-4 days. It's great in salads too!
One Small Crop Not Worth It June 26, 2008

The green beans were my third or fourth seed crop from the Aerogarden folks. Had great success with the herbs, and have been trying other crops to gauge my success and interest. Sadly, the green beans I considered a bust. I got one meager handful of beans from this; no more. I'm going back to the herbs after this.
One thing that is a challenge with the beans - once they flower, you have to be your own "bee" to get them pollinated.
Bottom Line: Would not recommend this seed kit.
Worthless June 19, 2008

The plants grew huge, flowered, but never produced tomatoes. We shook them like the instructions said, but zero tomatoes. On top of that, over the last few weeks, it has gotten very loud. Sounds like the pump is loosing a bearing or something. We have cleaned it, but still loud. Very disappointed. My wife wants to toss the whole thing in the trash.
