Tomato plants are growing!

This is just a quick update since I haven't posted here in a while. You probably thought I killed all my plants right? LOL Well not ALL of them. :-/

I had 6 tomato seedlings that seemed to be holding their own, so I planted them right into my compost bin (which is basically a small Rubbermaid container). They are doing very well!

I also have a basil plant and a parsley plant that seem to be doing well also. Those I bought as 4" pots from the store and planted them in containers. They are outside and doing well. I've already used leaves from them several times.

Seedlings are growing - now what??

Ok so I'm a little nervous. I have all these wonderful seedlings growing like crazy (just look at the size of this green bean!). I'm really afraid to put them outside as I don't want to kill them. Guess it's time to learn about hardening off?

I want to plant some of these in containers, but I'm not really sure which ones should go in there and what size planters to use. Guess I have a lot of reading to do! Anyone out there that can help me?

I have:

green beans

tomatoes

radishes

cucumber

peppers

marigolds

carrots

basil

Any help is most appreciated!

Oh and just look at the pretty blooms on my cherry blossom tree outside my window! I love these signs of spring :)
