An overdue update and a small harvest

Now that both of my basil and both pepper plants have been growing outside in dirt for at least a couple weeks, I can say that they've adapted beautifully!  I have a few peppers that are turning red.
The green basil has gotten as tall as my knee, and very bushy!  The purple basil is not growing as fast as the green, but it never has.  It is a beautiful deep shade of purple though.

This batch of tomatoes is doing better than previous attempts - one plant more so than the other.  The plant in the back actually has to be propped up because it is so heavy.  The oregano is still enjoying the extra room it has in this garden.


Last night, I harvested my tomatoes to use in a recipe.  It probably wasn't enough to make a huge difference, but it was exciting for the kids :)
