Rochester, NY (WHAM) - We started flowers and veggies in a seed tray this Spring to get a head start on the growing season. The seed tray has some lettuce, onions, tomatoes, carrots, and even some marigolds. We're seeing some decent progress in the 2-3 weeks since the seeds were planted. The plant tray has been growing in the greenhouse at the Garden Factory in Gates. The sprouts will be transplanted into our raised garden bed at 13WHAM-TV when the construction of the garden is finished.

This is such a beautiful time of the year in WNY. Check out this Lilac at Highland Park, our neighbors Crabapple Tree, and my favorite Spring bulb, the #Allium . #ROC #Spring https://t.co/Dgc0gapfAb

The chance for a few more light showers will continue through early afternoon, but much of today, tonight, and Thursday should be dry. You can also expect seasonable warmth today with most areas reaching the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. #ROC https://t.co/FKsAjRpr6Q
