DH gave me an EasyBloom garden monitor for Christmas. Its a USB enabled gardening monitor that you install in your garden or in your houseplants and it reads the local conditions (light water, humidity), w which you can download to your PC.

We have a potted rosemary plant that lives inside for the winter, so I'll report back as to what it tells me!

Here you can see the monitor stuck into a pot of rosemary that lives inside during the winter:

This is what the monitor data looks like after I uploaded it to the EasyBloom website:

The program also recoomended other indoor plants that could live in this location:

When the spring comes this will be really handy in my vegtable beds because I'll be able to collect envriomental conditions on a regular basis.

EasyBloom does not do soil analysis :/ but boy if it did it would be just about perfect!

Any idea the maximum distance the probe can be from the computer?

In other words, is there a limit to how far out the probe will transfer data?

The probe itself collects the data, and it just plugs into a USB port and you upload from your PC or Mac to the EasyBloom web site.

Cool. I want one. Although this may take our hobby to a new level. Like an obsession.
