The tomato plant is doing really well. I can't believe it used to look like a little sprout. When I first re-potted it, I didn't think it was going to make it, but look at it now!
I need to buy one of those wire mess cages to wrap around it. I think it's getting big enough for one.
Here's a picture of the rest of them:
Unfortunately, not all of them are doing as well as the tomato. The mint, basil, and dill are thriving. The parsley and oregano haven't really changed, but the chive and cilantro are hurting. The chive just keeps shedding more and more. I really need to re-pot it again. I don't know what's wrong with the cilantro though. It was doing great and then the stems bent during a bad storm. I thought maybe the bent stems were causing a reduction in water, but the damn thing keeps producing more flowers, but no leaves. I did prune it right after the storm and cut about a third of it off like I read on the internet to do, but still no leaves. I don't want to give up on it because it's the one herb that I use the most of since I started eating white chicken chili again. I won't buy another one for the summer, but I'll take more care next year in pruning it so it doesn't get too tall and risk structural damage to the stem.
