It’s not that I don’t like children, and it’s not like they don’t like me (why are they always staring at me?)… it’s just that I haven’t quite got the knack for entertaining them. Or the strength to lift them. Or the stomach to look at the saliva that’s usually dribbling out of them.
Something that I do apparently have a knack for (and I say apparently, as this is only my first attempt… perhaps it’s beginners luck?) is basil growing. It wasn’t so long ago that this wee guy was a mere seed!! And now look at it… leaves all over the place, over 2 inches tall, it even has a slightly basily smell.
Wee Basil has to stay in the pot for a little while longer, but I’m going to be so proud when it’s eventually planted outside into the herb box. I might even shed a proud tear…

Yeah, kids bother me. Although not ALL kids, but strangers kids and the kids I see on the subway commuting home or to work, ughhh.
Awww I love growing herbs. Awesome basil.
WOW! I’m so impressed that you grew this! I can barely keep my aloe vera plant alive.. my dad has to look after it and bring it back to life every now and again.. xx
