A bit disappointed

I ordered the mini mums, catnip, and alpine strawberries.
I planted them all a month ago.
Followed the directions completely.
The catnip is growing pretty well, and of course the cat loves it.
The alpine strawberries are taking a long time and they're still very small like seedlings and they've been there a month.
The mini mums.. very disappointed. They are spindly, and only two have popped up. One seems to be a little more sturdy than the other, I'm keeping them in the partial Sun, watering them when I need to. Still not growing as I expected, or as pictured.
For the price we pay I'm very disappointed.

Cilantro is growing!

I was skeptical but after a short time, and following the directions….I had sprouts! I am hoping to have a “crop” someday.

Unique gift!

Wanted something unique for a good friends Birthday. When I saw this on the "FTO" web site, I knew my friend would love it! In person it didn't disappoint! I've given it to my friend, who loves growing things with her "Grand-ones"!

Garden in a bag

I bought that for my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day and she loves it and is excited to plant it even though she doesn’t realize she can just grow it in the bag.

Stocking stuffer

This is a Christmas present so I have not even wrapped it yet but they are fun for family with young children.

Did not grow (garden in a bag zinnias)

Sadly, the seeds didn’t grow in the garden-ina-bag zinnia pkg. Tried 2 times. I contacted the company after the 1st failed attempt w accompanying pics; they were very responsive and sent me new seeds. I followed the instructions explicitly both times. My second attempt has only 1 remaining plant out of 10 seeds. For that reason, I would not recommend this product. The packaging is cute and neat, as is the idea.

Garden in a Bag - Mint

I love these little bags. They sprout very easily and continue to grow!

So much fun!

A group of 4 friends is sharing my garden via text and photos. It brightens everyone's day. If possible I would deduct a quarter star for the absence of drainage chips in the strawberries and only one tomato seed. Everything - basil, oregano, marigolds, peppers, strawberries, even the tomato (!) - sprouted in less than a week. NOT the mint; still waiting after 5 weeks. Chives, planted later than the others, sprouted in 2 days and had buds in five! An east-facing window & porch blocked by a tree requires daily attention to balance between sunlight and temperature. It's worth it. For anyone wondering about the need to transplant to pots, tomato & pepper are already equal to a 5.5 inch pot.

Not pleased. The directions indicated there was a bag of soul inside the brown bag. But there was just loose soil. There were remains of what possibly had been a bag a long time ago.

B-day presents

I just love the idea of growing herbs in bags. I got a total of 6 bags and gave them for Birthday gifts. Everyone loves them.

Complete bust

Followed the directions exactly and the seeds never grew. Absolutely nothing.

Sounds like a bad bag - that's no fun! Email us at info@freetheocean.com and the customer service team can help you out.

Frenc Marigold - Garden in a Bag

Gave this to a friend for her birthday. Anxious to see it once it blooms. She was delighted with the concept, as she lives in independent living in a care facility and doesn't have a lot of space for plants.

Disappointing

I purchased three of these as a gift for Christmas for a friend. They let me know that two failed to germinate. Unclear about the 3rd since they are now hesitant to even try. Very disappointing for the price paid.

do these have an "expiration" date?

Hi Becky,

Thanks for your question. The Garden in a Bags will last a very long time, as long as the package of seeds are not opened before you're ready to plant them.

Thank you!
