A Garden update

A picture of the kaleidoscope peppers. They are doing well. Started the earlier than they say but am hoping they will have a better chance of producing if I start them earlier. I had one plant survive in the outdoors last year (due to grasshoppers) but it never produced. Also started some basil! Looks like I need to use a couple of the leaves already!

And the artichokes! They are doing well to...not a lot of visible growth above the soil yet but the roots must take a while to develop. Being fairly new to all this one thing I have noticed is: all the first leaves have died off. That is true for all the plants so far except for the herbs and peppers. You can see this is true for the artichokes!
