Story

Growing up in the New Mexico desert there's a certain state of awe reserved for green plants 🌿 But it's so dry here how do I grow something in this climate. that's where having a smart device for my plant comes in handy I can check all that it needs without needing to get out of my chair real time stats uploaded to Adafruit, data printed on OLED screen. I no longer have to fear the harsh dry desert I can see air quality, Soil moisture, temperature. AND the most exciting part SELF WATERING!
