the basil plant


The first weekend after moving to DC we went to the local farmer's market together and I was really excited to buy a small basil plant- in hopes of having fresh herbs for cooking. When we arrived home I planted it in one of the planter boxes that was hanging out uninhabited in our backyard. A day later it wasn't looking good and the following day I noticed the planter box had fallen over and was laying face down on the ground. Yelling to graham that I had no luck at growing plants and cursing my lack of green thumbness...he trotted over saying that he would nurse it back to health and bragging that his mom and dad met at a nursery so he had it in his blood. Well I scoffed then....but he was right!! Check out the basil!
