Tomatoes finally took off

Logged this week

Moved the two cherry tomato pots to the south-facing rail and they've nearly doubled in size in ten days. Should have done this a month ago.

Basil round two

Logged last week

First batch bolted in the heat. Started a fresh tray indoors and will keep it further from direct afternoon sun this time.

Aphids on the peppers

Logged two weeks ago

Diluted soap spray twice, three days apart. Seems to have worked — no new colonies since.
