How does your garden grow...

As I mentioned in my post about pickling peppers, I planned to make a indoor garden. Unfortunately this is a bad time of year to buy seeds but I was able to find Sage, Thai basil, Summer Savory and Chervil. Before I pickled the peppers, I harvested the seeds from a Yellow chili, a Green chili, a Serrano chili and a Jalapeno. I planted them last week.
I checked on the plants today and the sage, chervil and basil are starting to sprout!
This is a picture of the Thai Basil. Since the plants are so small, it was difficult for me to get a decent picture of the Chervil and the Sage. I'm a little worried that the peppers will not sprout since they need to be keep at 25-30C in order to grow. They are supposed to take a little longer to sprout so I'll just have to wait to see.

I really wanted a mint plant but couldn't find any seeds locally. I found out a friend has a mint plant and he is willing to exchange part of his plant for some of my left over seeds.
