I like it! my parents are avid gardeners and I've always wanted to get an idea of what/when to plant things. Suggestion: add a select all / select none on the veggies page. Also, I think there has to be a better way to convince people to pay. I found myself selecting the email only mode, then wondering if I could "upgrade" my account to a pay version, but I seem that there's no way to do that unless I create another…
Very cool concept - a few comments: a) The "buy" page screams out for some pics - people eat (and buy!) with their eyes :). b) "We choose seeds that are perfect for your climate and the time of year" then the next page asks me to select my own choices? A little confusing - maybe you're building a list of options dynamically? c) Consider for future "upsells" on the buy page or a more expensive $99.95 starter pack that…
I'd just like to echo others comments about C being a really good idea. I live in London, and have recently moved into an apartment with large windows that are just screaming out for planter boxers. My partner and I are trying to figure out what to plant, etc, but all we really want to do is have someone deliver two planter boxes, the right amount of dirt and fertilizer, and some flowers and herbs that we can plant n…
Thought you might find this interesting. When you have a baby, various stores encourage you to sign up for monthly emails. Because the store knows the date of birth, they can send accurate developmental updates. e.g. "Your baby is X months old. You may notice she is starting to pay more attention to the world and is able to hold up her own head..." (etc). This is fascinating for the parent due to the timeliness of th…
I am not the OP, but that is an amazing idea. I remember those baby emails, and can just imagine screenshots of baby kale and turnips. Op, you really should do this. It would be amazing.
My zip is 10005 and you recommended a small garden, but i would almost expect recommending a patio garden for my zip. How to you decide which of the 3 options to recommend?
The small garden is a balance between feasibility and ambition for the novice gardener. In other words, I'm just emphasizing the plan that makes me money. :)
FANTASTIC!!! I just planted half my garden last week. Going to do the other half next week. I will use this and recommend to a few others on my garden project...its my first time ;) I think your pricing segments make sense. Recommended quick fixes: 1 - first email I received has the "Plant xyz" list. Great, but maybe also include a link in the email that takes me back to my http://sproutrobot.com/ ; page so I get thi…
That's a good idea, the link back to the site. I am planning to switch to HTML emails with the links actually in the email, but that would be a good intermediate step. And I didn't realize gmail had a limit. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Did you even read his blog post? Or just see "affirmative action" and kneejerk it? And what do his political leanings have to do with buying plant seeds?
1st Point Yeah I read the blog post, he stated a position in support of it and articulated his reasons. 2nd Point What does if a presidential candidate is bald or not have to do with his/her capacity to run the country? What does Whole Food's CEO"s John Mackey position on health care have to do with buying groceries? Your question implies a lack of understanding of the motivations and impulses that drive consumers to…
