I love to garden, and lately, I’ve been watching gardening shows by Monty Don (Britain’s favorite gardener). It has gotten me really into the spirit of gardening for 2019, and since Charleston has an early growing season, I’ll need to get my plan in place sooner rather than later. My biggest challenge is our travel schedule–when we are home, our plants look great, but as soon as we leave for a longer trip, they die. At the end of summer, I got one of these Grow Duo Smart Planters. They are really cool because they have sensors for soil moisture and temperature, air temperature, and light, which work together with the plant profile to auto-adjust watering and give plant care tips to you, the gardener. It was a little late to plant anything in the scorching Charleston heat by the time I got mine, but I went ahead and planted a lettuce mix with decent results. I’m committing to planting more this year, soI just ordered two more. They are actually priced at 50 percent off right now, and they can be connected to each other so that they can share one water source, but still keep custom water schedules.
