Vegetables Did Not Grow
We bought this for my 7 year-old son. He had fun setting it up and planting everything, but nothing grew. After a week or so we had a few sprouts, but they never turned into anything. I wish there was a way to get a refund. Planting a small garden in your yard will be less expensive and more productive.

Does not work
My child was very excited to receive this as a gift. Nothing ever grew. Complete waste of money. We had better success buying our own seeds and growing the vegetables in a pot. Very disappointing!

Read the reviews before you buy
I bought this product for my 3 year old grandson before I read the reviews. Bad idea. I read the reviews & they were terrible. I immediately called back to cancel my order, but it was already in process. Mindware was great. They sent me a return address label so I could send it back for free. Apparently this item is poorly made, and it didn't perform for any of the people who ordered it. Most of them said that the only thing that grew was mold. They were also upset that it was styrofoam

Does NOT work
This is very expensive and it did not even work at all. And there was no growth chart in the box. My grandson was very disappointed. I wish I could get my money back. We followed all the directions but nothing grew.

Extremely poor quality. Made of styrofoam! Planted seeds, sprouted then died. Keeps soil too wet. Roots rotted, soil molded. Followed instructions precisely.
