4. Peppers are doing well this year!

I bought some cool looking purple bell peppers at the May Market and they are really doing well. Also, green bell, jalapeño, and Hungarian wax.

Got a few little tomatoes but the blight is back despite vigorous spraying. No cukes yet, but lots of blossoms and healthy vining.

Herbs in pots are all doing great. I also bought lemon basil, but wasn't sure how to use it in recipes. BTW, is purple basil edible? I have a pot of that and it's really pretty.
