A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was excited to start growing stuff at our new apartment. No word on a closing date yet, but I had my first failure as a gardener. I tried to take care of the free basil plant that I got at the conference, but Sam is convinced that we have bugs that ate through the plant. The other possibility would be claw marks from the kitties. Either way, I'm hoping for more success when we can plant outdoors.

The plant needs to be transferred to a bigger container so the roots don't dry out...
I tried to find a small pot to plant transfer it to, but Target was out to get me and didn't have anything smaller than a huge planter!
If it makes you feel better, your plant looks positively perky compared to the whole windowsill full of dishevelled looking basil and mint in my apartment.
