Strawberries: Moderate success - Healthy foliage, but the berries keep molding before getting ripe.
Orchid: Approaching success - A new leaf and two flower stems on the way.
Broccoli: Near failure - Green caterpillars turned the leaves into Swiss cheese.
Herbs: Success - The basil looks a little bare after being used for pesto. Cilantro is coming soon, the herbs in the grocery store are sold with the roots attached, my Mom managed to get a shoot growing. 
Lettuce: Moderate success - After being stunted by the hot weather last summer the lettuce looks pretty but is tough and a little bitter. Attempt two is in progress.
Lime: Success - Loaded with sweet smelling flowers giving way to lime babies. I am a little concerned that this small tree has taken on more fruit than it will be able to handle.
Peas: Success - The delicious pea pods have already made it into several stir fry dishes and the plants are growing with no end in sight.
Hibiscus: Split success - These plants started out the same size, while one has grown large and healthy the other is healthy but has become miniature. The flowers of the plant in the foreground are twice the size of the other.
Kiwi: Failure - I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that a miniature fruit tree is a touchy thing to grow. This one doesn't have much time left.
