Team, Good work! I just took delivery of my plant stake and it worked on my Windows XP system flawlessly. I didn't read any of the documentation and only glanced at it after I had my stake in the ground. I think that's a sign of a well designed product. That said... kudos to your docs team, the material looks "mah-velous" and seemed logically arranged given the way I used it right out of the box. I expect to be back examining LEDs and such. A question I couldn't find answered when I *did* look at the docs and the web site: Is it possible to add my own plants to "My EasyBloom?" I haven't been able to wait the 24 hours for my first reading, perhaps it's obvious when I connect the sensor. Looks to me that your Plant Library is a tad limited (occupational hazard when you set about documenting plants). I'd like to be able to add my own plants and readings, add pictures, monitor growth with multiple pictures and the like. Any options for that? Uh, while I'm asking.... Any option for exporting the database so that I can use it elsewhere? I'd like to have to .xls or some standard format. What about importing a database I just might already have (okay, so I need a little help remembering this stuff master gardeners seem to keep in their heads.) Thanks very much. And three cheers for a great start. Regards, Tientown.

Hi Barbara, Thanks so much for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear you found the product to be well-designed and intuitive. As for your question, I'm afraid it is not yet possible to add your own plants to the online database. You can always suggest new plants via our support form (we will make every effort to accomodate you), however, and we may consider adding this functionality in the future. At the moment you can upload a picture for each reading you do with your sensor - we are working on making the site even more customizable in the future. Regarding your request to export the database, we plan to implement a printable "shopping list" for recommended plants that you can then take to your local nursery. Beyond that, we don't intend to make our entire database exportable, nor external databases importable. Thanks for your great suggestions! Best regards, Noam / EasyBloom Customer Support / PlantSense

Have you considered partnering with local growers other than burpee to incorporate plant databases? For example in the Bay Area wholesalers such as Annie's Annuals and Perennials has a fabulous online database of plants, but what I don't know is whether my "full sun" location is the "full sun" Annie's Annuals expects.

Hi Barbara- Yes, we have ongoing projects to add more plants. We just added 400+ plants from Proven Winners. Here are a few examples--- http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/plant/beauty-bush http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/plant/rose-6 Gorgeous! Also, in the Plant Library, you can get a quick snapshot of the most recently added plants http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/overview.html Thanks!

Hi. I have been really frustrated by the lack of print capability. I had envisioned printing out a list to buy plants from. Please put this capability high on your to-do list. Thanks a million, Marnie O.
