Oh wow! Very ambitious, you :) I covet your basil. I can't get it to do much here as it's too wet. It's about the only herb I don't grow and it's probably my favourite... that or coriander. Mmmm, salsa.
Some would say ambitious - I say mad! Today I am feeling overwhelmed with veggies. I've got the veggie shakes. I've picked 4 steel bowls full of beans, all my window sills are covered with tomatoes and I'm desperate to actually make pesto, but I haven't any jars! What the hell were we thinking?!
I do love the basil also - it smells lovely. Does it not grow in a pot in your windowsill? We had coriander for about a week, then it exploded in growth and went to seed. Hoping it'll come up this year, since the seeds scattered everywhere. :)
