Update: My Miracle-Gro Gro-ables

Miracle Gro Groables | girl about columbus Today is the day for Grow Columbus, the event in which Sprout it has partnered with Miracle-Gro and the Mid-Ohio Foodbank to provide you all with 40,000 FREE Gro-ables Seed Pods at various Columbus locations! You can read more about that HERE. Miracle Gro Groables | girl about columbusI really do think this is such a fun event and so I decided to give you all an update on how my Gro-ables Seed Pods are doing today. I planted my pods in early April, as you can see HERE, and all nine of them sprouted within the first two weeks of planting them! Miracle Gro Groables | girl about columbus I knew that the veggies + herbs were guaranteed (how great is that!?) to grow, but I still was amazed at how easy it was: I just gave them as much sunlight + warmth as I could, with just enough water to keep them moist. I planted the basil, dill seed, zucchini, cilantro, romaine lettuce, spinach, globe tomato, cherry tomato, and cucumber seed pods. Miracle Gro Groables | girl about columbus Now, I’m very pleased with how my tomato plants, romaine, dill seed, cilantro, basil, and zucchini are growing but my spinach and cucumber could use a lil’ extra TLC. If any of you have any advice for these, please send them my way – especially the spinach because I plan on eating this every day! girl_about_columbus_blog

A big thanks to Miracle-Gro® for sponsoring this post.

2.) Your Ohio's 529 plan be used NATIONWIDE - not just for Ohio schools.
3.) Your Ohio's 529 doesn't just cover tuition - you can use it on any qualified expense, like room & board, books, computers, internet services, mandatory fees and MUCH more.
4.) 529 plans aren't just for 4-year colleges. Ohio's 529 can be used at ANY type of school - whether that's a 4-year college, trade and tech schools, certificate programs, apprenticeships and more.
5.) There are SO many tax benefits - ALL earnings, including interest, grow tax-free, 529 plan withdrawals are tax-free when used for qualified higher education expenses, and you can deduct your contributions from their Ohio taxable income, up to $4K per year, per beneficiary.
