Sweet Basil • Garnish to Growth
Sweet Basil • Garnish to Growth
The other day we received sweet basil cuttings on a garnish plate at our favorite Thai restaurant. Always watching @papa-pepper weave his magic with plants, I immediately had a bright idea... bring them home and grow them to produce our own plants. Is that crazy?
Stage 1: Put them in a glass of water to grow roots.
Stage 2: Plant them in a pot with some dirt.
Stage 3: Bountiful homegrown sweet basil... I'll let you know!
I photographed the sweet basil with my Canon 5D camera and 70-200 mm lens.
Thanks for the art @overkillcoin... minnows, dolphins, whales... I’m down with squid!
Nice growing some basil myself so many uses for it

I agree, its great having fresh herbs on hand while cooking.
Should do okay! I love thai basil. I could eat it in everything. I planted some and the bloody blackbirds scratched all the soil up, including the young plants. buggers.
Yes it seems eager to grow and on a windowsill with some sunshine it will be safe from the birds.
Man, that rocks soooo hard! Way to go, and way to grow!!! Excellent stuff, and I love seeing how easy it can be. Isn't it amazing?!?!?
Yes it is amazing... thank you for the inspiration!
