Your article says you can't wait to ship next summer. Does this mean I might get seeds in July of 2015? I don't remember, what was the original goal?

  This was written initially for sending to people who asked me tips on how we ran the campaign, and I missed that in editing. We are targeting a shipping date now in October, having raised more than our goal the research is taking longer as we can do more.

  original goal was April 2014. Having said that, there are plenty of kickstarter projects that have succeeded quite well even after having delays. I'm sitting here at my table with my copy of Antimatter Matters, which is late, by about 6 months, but I'm happy with it. The Ouya also was late, IIRC.

    84% of kickstarter projects are late. That doesn't make it ok, but we asked our backers in January if they wanted a shipment on time or if they wanted us to ship when we are ready, over 90% said to wait. I think people understand that they are backing a long term project and we try to keep them engaged with updates etc.

      I was one of those who voted to hold off shipment until it was ready. But even though I am enclosed in an adult size body, I am like a little kid and want my toys. While I get the updates I usually just skim them as they typically say: "we are making progress, be patient" Regards jhk

  Seems premature to take a victory lap on a product that hasn't shipped yet!
