I was wondering on the success of that? I would love to make fresh pesto (without cheese of course) and the stuff in the grocery stores is a shame during this time of the year!

I purchased one as an Amazon Gold Box deal a couple of months ago and love it. I've made pesto from the basil,used the parsley for tonight's meal, and have used the other herbs as well. I purchased the 7 herb garden. I like it enough that I got a 3 herb garden for my brother-in-law primarily for growing basil since he's such a pesto freak. If you decide to get one, really research their homesite to decide which one you want. And then be patient and pricewatch. They are always having sales, and Amazon is always putting them on sale as well. Go for it--it's a purchase I've been very happy with. Easy set up, easy maintenance, and quick growth

Posted Saturday, January 2, 2010 at 6:45 PM No problem at all with bugs so far. 4-9 days to sprout depending on the herb (most of mine sprouted more quickly), and the growth is quicker than herbs planted outside--it's noticeable daily once they have sprouted.
