Obviously I can’t have an herb garden because we live in a tiny apartment. But we can grow some in pots, right?
Thanks to our neighbour, Andreas who grew this basil plant, we now have this at home! I just hope I don’t go crazy preparing pesto that this dies quickly! 😛
I also hope I remember to take this out for some sun and remember to water it. Errr… I used to have a cactus plant in our toilet and it died because I forgot to water it. 😛 Can you believe that? It’s already in the toilet with plenty of faucets and I still forgot to water it! 😛
I know what you’re thinking — why not just buy basil leaves in the market, right? Because every time I remember to prepare something using basil, the basil has already gone bad in the fridge. 😦 This way, I’ll have a fresh stash all the time. 😉
I like planting things myself because they taste so much better when they’re that fresh!
In my kitchen, I have basil, coriander and my 2 succulent plants. Everything else on my balcony because I’m a planting addict. I think your basil should be okay indoors as long as it’s beside a window with a bit of sunshine like you have it in the photo.
