I have tried to grow a herb garden for my kitchen for most of my 80+ years, but had no success until I tried Click & Grow about 4 years ago. Now I have two Smart Garden 9’s (one was originally for my granddaughter who eventually grew tired of it). I like the ease of use but not the cost per plant, so now I use experimental pods and with a package assorted herb seeds for hydroponic gardens. We have fresh basil, parsley, or scallion greens 2-3 times a week.
