An updated shot of the Basil, Marigolds, Dill, and Cilantro. The marigolds are ready to transplant at this point. I transplanted some of the basil already, and the rest of it is not far behind. The Dill and the Cilantro failed miserably. I have one tiny cilantro plant, and 2 dill plants, both of which look very weak. I'm hoping it was because I had to revert to some really old seed. It might also be a result of mid-summer heat.
Lastly, here is the shot I forgot to take last time. Those are the sweet potato vines and leaves. I cut the vines that shoot out into the paths. Everything that stays in the raised bed gets to live :). Amazingly, ALL of those leaves fit into that salad bowl. It was heaping over, but I got them all in. I'm pretty sure you can eat the vines as well, but I'm not there yet.
After blanching all of the leaves, I used half and made a shrimp stir fry for 4, and froze the other half. I probably said this last post, but they have been such a nice surprise. The stir fry was delicious.
