The plants are getting really big and most of them are doing really well. Having them outside has been much better for their growth and if it wasn't for some annoying pests, they would be thriving.
The plants when they were planted into large containers:
Today:
The tomato plants that are in the large containers are really thriving. They look great except for a couple of discovered leaves from where I sprayed them with the garlic, oil and soap pesticide. Unfortunately, with all the moving and re-potting, I have mixed up the cherry tomatoes with the beefsteak tomatoes so I don't know which is which.
One of the zucchini has flowered and a couple more are about to. The leaves are really huge on them and the two that are in the large container ate a nice dark green and look really healthy. The ones that are in the smaller containers are not doing as well. There are two that are getting big, but they don't have the rich green color that the other ones do.
The basil is doing really well:
I went away for the Memorial Day weekend for my wedding anniversary and had my son taking care of my plants. He did a good job, but he missed watering a couple of them. One of the parsley got really yellow, and I lost a couple that haven't yet been re-potted. He did well though and it was nice to have a break.
