This is my new basil plant. I saw it at the grocery store, sitting among the fruit and vegetables. I've always wanted to grow my own fresh herbs and the plants were one sale, so I bought it. Then it sat. For over a week. I didn't use it for anything. I started to wonder how I would ever use it. Now I've used it twice. Once to add a little flavour to a sandwich. Mozzarella, chicken and spinach, with a little fresh basil. I was pleased with myself. Then, I used it for a bocconcini and tomato salad. Yum. I also made my own balsamic vinaigrette. It came out great.
Maybe I'll get more plants!

ReplyDeleteI have a basil plant that I've had I guess over a year now. It doesn't look nearly as nice as yours! I go through periods where I'm like "dammit, I need to use up all this basil quick" and then right after that I realize "damn, I'm out of basil".
ReplyDeleteThat photo is from the day after I bought it. It is already looking a little wilty. I hope to be able to keep it alive for a year.
