Let me know how well they come back! I've don't that once and they all but died on me. I always try to leave a good number of leaves on them.
ReplyDeleteI have pesto on my radar for next week for sure. I keep seeing it everywhere and I've never tried it. So cool that you had your own basil to use.
ReplyDeletelonghair - So far so good. The plants looked like they'd grown overnight when I went out to water them today. I'll keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteMelissa - Never had pesto!? How is this possible? I have to tell you, I love having a mini garden. Next year I'm gonna do even more.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a patio? You could total container garden. That's what I'm doing. As long as you have enough sun you'll be fine!
