My OperaHow Does Your (Aero)Garden Grow?

Has anyone ever gotten AerogardenTM beans to grow? At this rate, I will die of starvation before I get a bean plant to sprout, let alone make a few beans. I seem to have a couple of problems here...
I have a new fascination: an AerogardenTM. Or, not to put too fine a point on it, TWO Aerogardens.
Of course I chose a Pink one and a White one. I planted the flowers and they grew beautifully until my cat decided that a nice petunia salad was on the menu. Of course, the petunias didn't agree with her digestive system and she barfed plant parts for two days. Still, growing flowers was a nice, successful experiment.
Then, I ventured into the world of beans and tomatoes. The beans are dismal, at best, with only one plant having sprouted out of the several dozen beans I have attenmpted to grow. The tomato is happily chugging along, having sprouted it fourth layer of leaves. I can almost taste the tomotes, now. Does that mean I am half an Aerogardener
But, I have to tell the AerogardenTM people something. My plants NEVER look like the pictures in the ads. What's up with that? Do I have to hire a full-time professional Aerogardener to make pretty plants? Or to make any bean plant sprout? I think they use fake plants in their ads. They must. Really.
I think I am better suited to grow mold on the fogotten left-overs in the refrigerator than I am to grow beans.
