It’s been a while (er forever) since I put a post up and I thought I’m not only long overdue, but so much has happened since we first launched EasyBloom that it was high time that I wrote… so here goes…

I can’t tell you how gratifying when we hear from customers that have had success. For instance:

• Our customer who went from having the worst yard in her neighborhood to the best yard in her neighborhood (and was awarded a prize).

• People who have been unable to grow vegetables suddenly growing delicious tomatoes

• A customer who wasn’t so good with her Ficus, but inherited it from a deceased relative and wanted to make sure the plant lived.

As our second spring in business approaches we are looking forward to hearing more about how EasyBloom has helped you become a better gardener, or made a difference in your life.

If you haven’t had a good experience, we want to hear about that too! Drop us a note to info@plantsense.com We read and reply to every issue and try to solve them. In fact, we’ve been listening to you since we first shipped and the features that we have added were driven by customer feature requests.

My goal in starting the company was to make a gardening tool for everyone (especially for my wife – who isn’t the best with plants – but don’t tell her that).

We’re very happy that we’re cruising towards launch of Mac support. I have a MacBook myself, and feel lucky that I’ve gotten to use Mac for a few weeks as an internal tester. Last week, we gave our private Beta testers a Thanksgiving present—Mac software! So far, all the feedback from our private beta has been positive. If we continue to hear no issues, we’ll go into public beta next week, where anyone who owns the EasyBloom and has a Mac can volunteer to use the beta.

And after the public beta is…Availability! We’ve gotten many requests from people who want to give EasyBloom as a holiday present, and we’re trying our best to have Mac Support in 2008.

A couple weeks into our new digs, CEO and Co-Founder, Matt Glenn’s friend dropped by for a visit. After a five minute tour of the place, Matt asked her how she liked the new office. “It’s drab,” she replied, flatly. “Drab?” questioned Glenn. “Yeah, you guys need to liven this place up. You need some plants!” While we’d of course planned on decking out the space with plants, Matt’s friend helped expedite the process. The following week, we all set out EasyBloom Plant Sensors to help figure out which plants would thrive in our office environs. It was a great way to use our own product, and get a move-on on the plant buying. After getting some cool recommendations (Plumosa Fern , Spider Plant , Lipstick Plant , and others) we headed to our local nursery to get them.  Next up, we’ll monitor the plants with our EasyBloom sensors, to make sure they are getting the care they need. Stay tuned.
