5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves this mini garden!, January 7, 2009

This is a simple, straight-forward activity that my son really enjoys. He received it for Christmas, planted it on the 26th and it sprouted 2 days later! It was wonderful for him to see results (for the radishes anyway) so quickly. (He is only 5 years old and may have lost interest if it took more than a couple of weeks to grow.) Now he is checking his "garden" daily for new sprouts and tending it all very nicely.
We did make sure to plant the seeds close to the periphery of each tube for easier viewing. So far so good. I am pleased with this item and am certain we will use it again and again when this "batch" is harvested.

Not sure if i didn't do this right...but we got no onions to sprout. The radishes roots grew very quickly - and then it was hard to thin out and we haven't actually seen a radish grow...just lots of roots. Same with the carrots...which came along just after the radish.

We really like it at first and It's great to view the roots, but we didn't see the vegetable like the picture shows...and bummer on the onions!

this is a good educational toy. Not very durable for youger children but probably good for children eight or older.
