Little pink bugs

Ok, so I know I said I would post new pictures of the garden, but I haven't even taken the time to take new pictures! Except of this jalapeno plant. I noticed a day or two ago that there are these little pink bugs on it, and then this morning, I noticed them on the eggplant that I have, too. Does anyone know what they are, if they are harmful and if so, how do I get rid of them? Thanks for any help! (you can click on the pictures to get a larger view of the bugs)

A little from the garden

So far, the experience of gardening out of pots alone has been pretty rewarding. In the last two weeks or so, I've acquired a few new plants, 4 or 5 of them being peppers (sweet, hot and mild), a zucchini plant, eggplant and a roma tomato plant to put in the topsy turvy! And to top it off, each plant was a dollar! I also picked up a few more basil plants, since i go through it waaaaay to quickly. I also figured I'd try growing some peppermint. You know, for mojitos!! This is pretty much how it looks now.

I wish I could remember exactly what day these next two pictures were taken, because both plants have grown so much since then. I think it's only been two weeks or less since they were taken.


My basil plant that I bought at the Tremont Farmers Market and the only thing that I started from seed, tomatoes.

Snap dragons. The only flower I have =)

My little lady, Lexie, keeps me company while I play in the dirt.

I think tomorrow I'll post updated pictures of the tomatoes. They've grown like crazy in just the last couple of days!!
