Growing Basil Plants

Basil #2, grown at home


Basil #1, grown at work!


Basil #1

These plants are from the same seeds. See what a difference growing conditions can make?


I took basil #1 home and this is what happened to it. It started looking like this in its container, so I transplanted it to a large container thinking maybe it was outgrowing it's container. It only looked worse though, even after it had time to adjust to the new conditions, so I dug it up and put it back in a small pot and took it back to work.

This is the plant that used to be at home. Taking it to work has massively improved it.

Basil #1, June 19. This is the plant that started at work, then went home. Now that it's been back at work for a while, it's looking a lot better.
