Review & Giveaway: Growums

A little bit about Growums from their website:
When I was a kid, I started growing vegetables for my dad’s garden center using the same type of pellets used to grow your Growums today. It was magical to watch this small, dry object soak up water and create a place for me to put my vegetable seeds – and a few days later, I had plants! (It was cool!) Most kids today don’t get to experience this, and it’s our goal to give them that chance.
In addition, the Growums program:

• Gives children a life-changing experience, teaching them that they can grow their own food and help the environment, as well as emphasize the importance of healthy eating
• Gives them gardening knowledge and shows them the skills it takes to become a successful gardener – no matter what their age
• Gives kids a chance to have fun quality time with their parents, siblings and grandparents – both out in the garden, as well as online
• Gives back to your organization, charity or fundraiser

We feel that by providing children with a remarkable experience to grow their own garden – along with the help of fun characters who coach them in a virtual world they can enjoy online – the kids will be attentive and successful in their real-life gardening adventures. My kids have done it, and so have the kids in my neighborhood. I can tell you from experience: The joy on their faces and the fun they had digging in the dirt – then eating what they grew – was immeasurable!
Come grow with us – and add a little character to your garden!

The Truth's Thoughts:
Thanks to Growums I now a nice little Taco Garden growing in my kitchen. When I got the package and opened it there where 8 pods of dirt. I sit them in a pie pan dish and added water. As I added the water the dirt pods began to grow and get taller. After they where done I add my seeds to each pod. I had enough to use 2 pod to each type of seed. Here is a little bit about thetaco garden I got from the Growums website.

    1 package: Iceberg Lettuce seeds

My kids had a fun time putting the seeds into the pellets because they got to play with dirt and not get in trouble. They have done really good with keeping up with the plants by watering them and everything. Here is some photos of the first week we had the plants.

The first three are from day 1 when we first planted them. The second photos is from day 7 and as you can see the plants started to grow very quickly.
