My First Ever Attempt at Planting Basil

Last month, my sister gave me a Basil plant which she pinched from her garden. Basil, Rach said, wants sunlight and water. Also, you have to pluck out its flower if you want its leaves to retain its sweet flavor. She placed the basil inside a plastic cup and told me to wait two to three weeks until I see its roots start to grow.

Alas! On the 14th day, glorious white basil roots 

were already showing!:)

See?!?:)

I prepared my pot, some potting soil, a shovel and of course,

my lovely basil plant.:) 

Thankfully, two new stems have started to shoot up.:) And according to the YouTube video, the way to pinch it is to select the middle stem. I've already done that three days ago so let's see what happens two weeks from now. I'm so excited!:)
