Gardening: Day 30 something

So, gardening. I haven't updated anything for about a month, but my plants have been making some progress. I took some pictures to compare what they looked like a month ago.



Mint is definitely more bushy, and the Aloe looks greener. I think it also sporouted more leaves (are they called leaves?).


Tomato plant is way taller, and look!

An actual tomato! I only have one tomato fruit growing so far... I hope i'll have more.

The lavenders are doing alright, aside from the fact that the English Lavender looks a little tired.

The okra and basil seedlings were doing fine for a while, but it stoped growing after a while. My okra never sprouted more leaves, and remained long and skinny. I tried to repot them too soon, which resulted in them wilting :( I had given up on my basil as well, and had left one pot sitting outside for a few days without water. Surely, it would have dried up and died...? But to my pleasant surprise, it was still alive! And kickin'!

It now had four leaves. I have kept it outside since, watering it occasionally without drowning it. It is growing slowly, but seems to be doing fine for now. I woinder how long it will take to become a decent plant that i can get basil leaves from.
