Your plants are looking great, but you are going to have to trim them back soon. Especially the basil and the thyme. Herbs constantly need to be held back. This makes them bushy, giving you more to work with later, and it also stops them from bolting and flowering. Just pinch off the new growth, preferably above a place where you see that the herbs will branch out. You want lots of stocks, not long stocks. And, if you want a lot of basil, you might want to put it in a bigger pot. That is going to disrupt the nice symmetry of your greenhouse. Keep growing!     That is a lovely little greenhouse, and at 20 bucks, it is a steal. Your plants are looking great, but you are going to have to trim them back soon.
