Check this out! On the left we have the Mr. Basil when I planted him. On the right we have Mr. Basil before dinner tonight. See how much he's grown?!? Amazing huh? Post dinner (lasagna for Joel, cannelloni for me- yeah, it tasted good, but my tummy...ooh...) he's missing a few leaves, but not height! Whoohoo! I didn't kill him!Now, here we have my lettuce babies. See how many are sprouting!?! I think, the two that are growing must be the baby spinach (the round leaves) and the kale (the long leaves)- but the rocket, which I am told should have jagged edges, doesn't seem to be there. Either way, exciting! :)
Now, scarily enough, Mrs. Mint almost didn't make it. Something, not me, was eating her. Her leaves were all but gone, and she just didn't look well. So, a gardening neighbor suggested that I place a tin can around her and give her a chance to grow out of reach. I don't know how long I can leave her like that- but as you can see- there are a bunch of new leaves at the top, so it's working for now! :)
Now, does anyone think it's sad that this is the best I've got to blog about? Actually, I am working on a post, but it's taking a bit of time.... I'll get to it!

In the pot with the spinich and kale. Those plants shoot up long slender leaves first, they are the ones that help them get established. then come the nes you are talking about.
Martin- slow down... now, what? Which plants shoot up those long slender ones first? And what are "nes"? And the two things that are growing now are different from each other... but are you saying that two of them could be shooting up similar sprouts? I'm all confused...
Hey, keep blogging about the growth of your plants! It's just about as interesting as the rest of us who blog about the growth of our offspring ;)
