My Second Attempt At Planting Basil

Ola!:) I just want to post the pictures of my lovely basil plants.:) Sorry I can't help but be proud of myself and of them! But it really is greatly rewarding to discover that something you're nurturing is growing healthy and beautiful.:) It doesn't take a lot to take care of them naman pala. Basic necessities lang. But what it takes though is commitment (naks, serious!:) And a dose of optimism.;)


 I situated my second basil upstairs because that way 
it'll get a lot of morning sun. 


 The container is kind of cute to me. Hehe.:)

 I noticed that this second plant had more roots than the first one. 
Pero pareho lang naman sila na two weeks.

 I was so excited to plant my second basil that I didn't water 
my other plants yet!  Look how dry the soil is! Bad gardener! 

 I planted it in the same pot where I planted the first basil.

 Wow dizizzit!:) 

 Look how tall the first basil is now.:) 
One day the second one will be as tall as the first.;)


Can't wait for the third one!:) 'Til my next basil update!:)

By the way, on New Year's Eve, my colleague (who's also planting herbs, veggies and fruits in his own backyard) gave me three kinds of herbs/plants: tarragon, lemon grass and mint!:) I asked him last month if he can spare me tiny pots but he gave me big ones instead! Thanks Erwin for the plants!:) So far, it's still downstairs but I'm planning to put them upstairs with my basil and oregano.:)
