Attack of the 50-foot Basil

[theoldwolf]

I love my AeroGarden™. My first shot was with cherry tomatoes, and the only reason I didn't have huge success was the fact that I was gone for most of the time it was growing, and I couldn't prune and tend the plants properly. But the plants grew well, and would have kept bearing had I kept them well-trimmed.



This time it's Italian Herbs... and my Basil is going nuts. I've had to trim it back 3 times already, so tonight's dinner was spaghetti with a lovely garlic and basil sauce. The other items - chives, parsely, thyme, mint and oregano - have been kind of overwhelmed by the basilicity... I'm thinking I need to grow nothing but Basil next time, and grow enough for a fresh batch of Pesto. Yum...
