Please Mother Nature....
So I happily started my container gardening seed starts at the end of April. They were looking great (ok well not all of them, but most of them) and I couldn't wait to get them into pots. So the first week that we had 60-70 degree weather I put them into pots
At that point I had 2 hot pepper and 2 jalapeño plants and a straggly parsley and cilantro start. 
The Lavender didn't come up in my starts so while I was back home visitin' I stopped at my fave greenhouse and picked up one, along with a African Blue Basil and a Chocolate Mint plant. They look so big and healthy compared to my poor pepper starts! I decided to add some seed to the pots of cilantro and parsley and they are just coming up now, so I'll see how they do. 
As soon as I planted them all the temperature dropped and I have only been able to put them out side in the warmest part of our 60 degree high days. So I am praying, please mother nature, please bring back the warm weather...or I will never have peppers this year!
