A Basil Miracle

10/20/06

The first time I tried growing basil on my balcony, almost nothing happened. Then just for the hell of it, I threw some more seeds on the dirt. These plants have grown fervently and have huge, deeep green leaves--nothing like my other basil plants. It's amazing what sufficient sunlight will do. And though a few leaves have shown some silvery streaks (signs of a pest), overall the plants haven't had any problems and have been staying alive and healthy. I guess I don't have a black thumb after all!
