A few tomatoes growing on Bush Early Girl - 10 now - 11th was rotting on bottom.

About 4 on Beefsteak (I think that name is wrong - it’s a different one - hybrid).

None have shown up on single Better Boy plant.

Got about 30-35 pepper plants going - 10 seedlings sprouting, too. Tallest about 10-12 inches. No veggies yet.

Counted about 40 seeds from regular store-bought tomato going. 3-6 inches tall. Will transplant soon.

Another 20 seeds of Bush Early Girl, about 20-25 red/yellow pepper, and 20-25 seeds of green pepper should sprout in about 2 weeks. Small indications from 2 already (10 days).

Sweet Basil going great guns - 3 plants - have already cooked from 2 harvests and dried a 3rd and sent to a friend along with pepper seeds.

My carrots and first tomato plants are weak - soil was lousy. Will try to transplant but very tender they are.

Sounds like most are doing well.
