They must have scoured some bars to get that voice and changed alcohol for water.
I must get one for my mustard and cress.

Heheh, turbo can have his garden call him.

$99 each is too much for me. I'll just keep watering my plants when they start to droop or when the soil feels dry when I stick my finger in.
 
Most of features aren't useful...
- If I am home, I would prefer some kind of alarm rather than internet messages
- If I am not home, then that's of no use (either internet messages/alarms)

I think it should water itself.

That's plenty of use, because then you can email your sprinkler.
 
I just set my plants in a sink full of water on the same day I give my dogs their heartworm medicine. That has the added benefit of washing the dust off the leaves.
 
And I thought the Serpent was evil...

Technology gone mad is when your plants can make you water them.
