Basil
Well I decided to stay home and rest today. So far daytime tv is horrible. I plan to read and clean a bit and not much else.
Not long ago I mentioned having problems with a basil plant. This was it's state at the start of it's decline:
Well, as the branches collapsed I decided to cut them off. I took b_vainamoinen's advice and put it where it would get the most sunlight--on my fire escape. I've been watering it once a day and the remaining stalks look much better.
One of them looks like it's turning into wood?
I haven't decided yet how much longer I'll keep up the effort as I fear I may become too maternal to be willing to eat it. (I know, I'm weird). But I feel good about having turned it around. It was a mini challenge for me!
Of course, pumagrrl's St Basil probably helped too. :-)
