Status of the plant starters

I started most of my seeds in mid-February.  As is inevitable, some didn't make it.  Disappointingly, the basil got really leggy before I was able to transplant it to larger pots.  It's still alive, but I'm not sure whether to count on it or not.  I guess I'll transplant it this weekend and see if it makes it.  If so, I'll let it live.

With all that in mind, it occurred to me that I need to harden off the plants.  Yikes!

The tomatoes are generally doing very well.  There are some that aren't doing as well as others, but for the most part they're quite happy.  The ones in the picture are generally about 10" tall despite my attempts to keep them from getting leggy.  They should do well, I'd think.
Although I don't have pictures, the bell peppers look very good.  The cayennes are stunted for reasons I don't understand. 

The kale looks quite good, though.  I would have transplanted it sooner if the weather hadn't been so unpredictable over the last month.  Oh well.
