Lost a nice set o tomato plants - dirt retained too much water - I don’t think any will make it.

OTOH, the other set (4 of the 6 multi-bowls) are looking good. Sweet Million and Grape Tomato I think. Small and green ones for now but coming in.

Not much else is making it. Single squash plant collapsed so it’s over. 3 big things growing - wish I could show you a plant that is 6-7 feet tall. I don’t know what it is - big leaves. But it obviously wants to live so I’m letting it and keep watering it. Will have to transplant. I have additional Bell Pepper seeds sprouting along with a few more watermelon seeds 3-7 (3 not up yet). And some radish. Not going to be a big harvest this year.

My small rectangular planter with pepper combos all look good. Some are bearing. Sweet Snacking Pepper, Serrano (a few coming in), some Bell pepper and some jalapeno. Plants wither each day with the Sun but snap back to looking good within 2-3 hours of cool water.

My two buckets of 4 Sweet Basil I harvested finally - didn’t get a lot - almost waiting too long. Now they’re all growing little stacked flower-looking things. I don’t know anything about them at all. I should be able to harvest and dry a few more leaves in a few weeks. That will be most of it. Oh well - one seasoning plastic shaker refilled. Not very cost effective. Rumor is they ward off mosquitoes - I think. Dunno.

I suppose I could look it up. But that’s like .... easy.
