Hey your plants look wonderful, I can almost smell that basil! This year I have some lime basil sprouting too, my first time with that one.

Your nasturtiums look fabulous! I was going to wait and just plant outdoors in ground, but I never thought of a hanging planter, what a great idea. They do not like roots disturbed from what I understand, so are you keeping them in that basket? it will look lovely once it flowers!

Don't know i grew Thai Bird last year what a beautiful cute plant I never ate one, My wife has her nails done with Cambodian women I gave her a branch full of them last year. As they worked they would just eat them like candy. My neighbor a 26 year old and another neighbor 95 year old love the hot ones. Also they take a lot of time to germinate and then grow , these are 45 days old now. Need to get outside asap. But the nights are only in the 50s here we are to close to the sea, the sea breeze starts every afternoon soon, temp drops 5 degrees very quickly.

I haven't been to that museum since a high school field trip many, many years ago, but I still remember how beautiful it is!

I'm a bit more inland and thinking that next week might be okay for starting the hardening off of the tomatoes. Our night-time lows are supposed to move up into the fifties over the next week. They're starting to get a just a bit unhappy looking in their smaller pots, and I'm hoping to avoid potting up.

The peppers and eggplants are in larger pots so they can stay in the basement under lights for a bit longer. In fact, one of my Italian cayenne already has a couple of peppers on it! I'll probably wait until Memorial day to plant them out.
