Plants for a Geek !

Go Ahead, what are you waiting for, yes, it won't hurt.. yes go on now click the picture.. still wondering what are plants doing on a geek's website, well well..

Philips, yes the company that makes so many things (have you lately seen that they are even advertisimg MRI machines on TV, now do doctors buy machines looking at TV Ads ?), anyway.. as a part of their on going campaign of "Sense and Simplicity", have devoted quite a bit of time and money in making our lives easier. (I like that)

The "Herbarium" that makes growing herbs as easy as making a cup of coffee, even for people like me who do not have green fingers.

These are a self contained unit, solar powered, creating a micro climate for the plant pads (yes pads), that contain everything that these herbs need to grow with. The plant growth is monitored electronically and the Herbarium ensures proper growth conditions.

Did you notice the small lights, that read sage, basil and thyme, well this is because once the plant pads are "planted", the herb name is illuminated on the rim, so you dont' mistake sage for basil :)

Now this is really really interesting
