The Seeds Actually Sprouted

I have bought a few cheap grow kits in the past that never ended up sprouting after the seeds were planted. So, I was pleasantly surprised that all three of the varieties in the Abby's Garden kit grew well. Even more so, because I ended up buying this kit when I saw it on sale back before Christmas time, and then, I decided to wait and give it to my son in his Easter basket. Thinking the seeds might not be good, I planted them all although there were more than the directions call for in each packet.

After about a month, three of the four plants did die because the soil got too wet and stayed that way. I think this was because there were no drainage holes. The other needed to be replanted, which it needed anyways since the container was not very big.

I would recommend this kit for preschool and kindergarten age kids. My 5 year old loved helping to plant the seeds, decorating the pots with the stickers and coloring in the activity book. And, there were plenty of fun Sesame Street stickers left over for future art projects.
