+## About The Project
+
+![Prototype 1](https://imgur.com/a/tMQBOKO)
+
+I love having plants around but I often forget to water them or how much to water them. So I initially started this project to just check if soil was dry and have a small piezo buzzer go off when a plant needed water. Well things escalated as I wanted to add features and now I'm at the point where it's a multi-system product with multiple moving parts. 
+
+Where the project is now
+
+At this point the project consists of:
+- Probe nodes that record soil moisture data
+- Reporter node that collects and sends the probe data to an API
+- An API that serves to both the reporter node and a front-end client
+- Front-end client that provides a web interface for viewing the collected plant moisture data.
+
+Where the project is going
+
+The end goal is to have the probe nodes collect soil moisture, soil temperature, relative humidity, air temperature and light spectrum values. With all this information I'm hoping to be able to optimism plant health and maybe even help figure out resource distribution for farming... but that's years down the road.
+### Built With
+
+This project is built on the following technologies:
