SEEDLINGS: basil, peppers, and tomatoes.
My tomatoes have (as of 5/2/09) have actually been planted into the vegetable garden. The tallest probably had reached three feet. I have around 10 pepper seedlings. 3 will go into my garden, the rest will go to the community garden. All the basil are also planted outside as of 5/2/09. I will still need to direct sow a few more.
