Basil! That's so exciting that you have enough to share. Sometimes I take excess duck eggs to work to give away.
Aw, peppers! I've slowly learned that the secret of so much gardening, but especially food gardening, is to plant way more than you think you need. So much will fail to thrive or will go wrong somewhere along the way. Unless it's zucchini, of course, but that plant is nearly supernatural.
Hm, I've never tried to grow mint, so I have no insights there. Where/under what conditions are you growing the hens and chicks? I ultimately moved mine to the shade of a tree--they really don't like a lot of heat and direct light, which we have in alarming abundance. I've had several just abrubtly fail, though, even as others in the same pot grow just fine.
