Usually I take my daily picture in the much later part of the day but when I saw my little basil buddy sprout this morning I figured it was worth going in to work an hour later for the sake of getting a picture in the early (that is, 10 AM) light. I had to do it today since there’s a 90% chance that this little guy won’t be around tomorrow. Does the discerning eye notice the sadly withered (dead) basil mommy in the background? That’s the result of my terrible green thumb. I pretty much thought that this plant was a goner but this sprout has renewed my hope and I will fight for it’s survival so that it can grow and sacrifice itself for a real cause like flavoring my spaghetti. My latest intervention is putting a stemless glass wine globe on top of it as a micro greenhouse.
