basil's already flowering??? collect the seeds for next year. I would boil some pasta and throw the bail and cherry tomatoes in!

I love Lucy said...

I am so impressed.Seriously.
I got an indoor plant last year.Low maintenance antha.
It died a month after my parents left.Needless to say my dad used to tend to it all during the 2 months that they were here with us.
*sigh*

Basil and lemon grass top my chart of herbs. Just yesterday, I made pesto sauce from fresh basil leaves.
You gals have some serious talent there. Just left a comment on Dotties, so much that I claim to love gardening, I can't keep a plant alive :(
BTW, Emolior.. meaning achieve by effort.. is the story of my life too :)

K's mom- :)

Seren : Ask PPP to get here and nourish them!

SK : Poor coriander is wonly 5 days old!

dotT : Yes, pasta is on the menu sometime this week, just not sure which day :)

ILL : Read some of my older miserably failed black thumb projects. There's hope for one and all, no fear.

DDMom : No talent, really. I have realised the simple technique of watering regularly, talking encouragingly and keeping fingers crossed :P. And the soil in the backyard isnt too conducive for a vegetable garden. So all this is in pots. Same pinch then...
