my plants are growing!!! i’ve got basil on the windowsill and tomatoes on the balcony. whoop! what is weird is that i planted the two basil pots…one in a mini-mini pot i had on hand, and one in a bigger one. i planted the seeds at the exact same time, seeds from the same packet, soil from the same sack, watered it the same time…but look at the difference.
wha?! the little mini pot is seriously stunted. i’ve already plucked leaves from the big pot and let it grow again about 3-4 times already…but the small one just stays the same. looks more like alfalfa sprout tops than it does basil. 
did i suffocate it with the pot size? i have no idea. but i will continue to water it…you never know…it could have a growth spurt.
as much as i haven’t liked our recent heat waves…that kind of weather is amazing for the tomatoes!! they used to be only three inches tall…now…they’re flourishing!!!
this pic was taken about a week ago…they’re taller already!! i love it. i feel good about this…i feel like it will bear some fruit this summer. i did notice that everything is pretty cramped. probably because i dropped 3-4 seeds in each little hole i made…to ensure that if one seed didn’t grow, the other two seeds next to it would have a chance. but taking a closer look at all the stalks…all the seeds may have sprouted. it’s a little squished. oops. on a sidenote…from a quick glance, it kind of looks like…pot, no? jenny was suspicious when she first saw it through the window. 
excited to harvest!!!!
i think the basil in the small pot doesn’t have much room for the roots to grow, maybe
holy cow, i totally thought that was pot!
