All of my started eggplants and tomato plants died as soon as they were planted. The only one that survived was a yellow tomato plant. Those things have proven very hardy and grow easily in this garden soil. Some of the hot pepper plants (poblano/anaheim) have done fine. They aren't thriving but at least they didn't wither away.
The herbs and flowers I planted in the cement blocks seem to be thriving. Thai basil didn't like it in those cement blocks though. So they've been replaced by other seeds.
