My Website!

I have decided to design and produce a website to work alongside my project. This will include all of my photographic documentation from start to finish as well as a live web feed directly to the greenhouse so visitors will be able to monitor the seedling's growth on a daily basis instead of just relying on my weekly visits.
I hope that this will make the installation more inclusive and will use the internet as a way of making the work more publically engaged. I will also be setting up a seedling orphanage, where members of the public who did not participate in the event will be able to adopt a seedling in a pot without a name. They will be able to offer advice and suggestions concerning their adopted seedling's maintenance and also suggest what they would like to see happen to it once it is out of the greenhouse.
I am really looking forward to seeing the final product and hope you are as excitet about this new addition to Metgrow as I am!

Check it out and in a few weeks, you can get involved!

Metgrowth (Week 5)

I saw the gardener today to talk to him about the progress of my little seedlings' . I was not sure how long they needed to be inside the greenhouse before I will be able to combine the plants in larger more substantial pots which will form my wildflower garden. Hopefully once the plants are in a larger pot, they will continue to grow into stronger and more weather resistant flowers, ready to be enjoyed throughout the summer months on the roof terrace.
The gardener informed me that to ensure best results, planting the seedlings in to larger containers should be done at the beginning of June. To wait until this time means that we give the plants the very best chance of survival in a warmer time of year. If I were to put them outside now on the 11th May, there is still a chance of cold weather which would instantly kill them. So, for another few weeks, I will be monitoring the greenhouse and preparing for the third stage of my installation - instating the wildflower garden on the terrace! I am really looking forward to seeing all of the plants together and out of the greenhouse which I am pleased to announce, is still standing. (Unlike last week!)
Here are some photos of the seedlings taken today:
