Hello from Rainy Ohio

Well Ohio has been receiving some near-record or record breaking rains this week! Though it looks like my plants outdoors really appreciate it, it has definitely been a challenge to get much accomplished. I will try to update soon with some photos of my seedlings that are still under the flouresecent lights in my house, they are definitely a lot larger. If you are looking for something to do this weekend with your family (granted that it finally stopped raining) you should stop by Five River MetroParks Wegerzyn Garden's and Children's Discovery Garden (whew a lot of words for a title), a.k.a. the awesome place with plants and a waterfall to play in (after memorial day). It was just featured today in the It's Where You Play segment on Fox 45 and 22. I am actually employed there which is why I am obviously a big proponent! Currently there is this amazing sculpture there designed by Patrick Dougherty and put together by volunteers made out of willow saplings and branches. Visit his website to check out some examples of his artwork. It should be there for the next 2 years, but come and visit it while it is newly built and see the evolution of the sculpture over time! I was there the other day when they were finishing building it and it looks amazing!

Pictures of my seedlings! :)

The seedlings are starting to grow!

I was sick for a few days and wasn't able to update my posts. Here are some images from the seed starts that I had discussed in my last post.(See above) I have some nasturtium and tomato plants growing now!

Nasturtium - They are an edible flower, they taste somewhat like a radish. They make a beautiful salad garnish and a great outdoor decoration!
