Thinning the jungle

Last time I posted, I wrote about transplanting my green basil and pepper.  I can tell you now that they are doing very well! The pepper plant has two tiny peppers on it, and the basil looks pretty happy.  So I decided to plant my purple basil outside a few days ago.  It does not stand up straight for some reason, maybe just because it's so top-heavy.  And the purpleness of the leaves has been fading and turning more green.  We'll see what some summer sun does to it.

That means I have only one plant left in my bigger Aerogarden.  I did not want to move that pepper plant until the pepper on it ripens.  I was pleasantly surprised today to see this:
After some Googling, I found out the  cracks on the skin are called  "corking" and that they do not signal a problem.

My small AG is doing well too.  I have a good crop of tomatoes coming in, and the oregano looks better than it ever has before, even after being chopped up just a few days ago and thrown into some chicken :)
