Time for another update! It's early june and all the plants have been hardened off and moved outside. I could be a bit paranoid but I feel the tomatoes are rather skinny, and slow growing this year. I did re-use the soil so there could be some nutrient loss, but I mixed in compost and fertilizers to try and compensate for that. Last year the soils were new, but unfortified (i.e. not compost) so I'm a bit skeptical that this is the sole cause. It is early going still so there could be a warm week that gets them growing thicker and more robust.
Here are the seedlings inside for the night after being outside to harden off.
A closer look at the pepper seedlings after transplanting into 4' pots.

A view of the tomatoes and peppers - note the skinny tomatoes.
A little burst of colour.
