You’ve read about it – now you too can follow your own pet vegetation on twitter! –

The Botanicalls Twitter kit includes all the hardware you need to create a networked communication system for your plant.

Twitter updates are then sent out via an onboard Ethernet connection to the Internet, where they can be viewed online or routed to your mobile phone.
