Ellis and I planted some seeds from basil and wildflower packets. I didn’t have big expectations since I’m a horrible gardener, however, I added perlite to the soil this time. It seems to have made a huge difference in the growth process in these 2 small containers. As you can see, seeds produced a cute and healthy bunch of sprouts within a week.
I wonder if we’ll get to eat our homegrown basil this autumn. That would be a treat for us!


Thanks Cee for hosting! Readers, thank you for stopping by and have a great Thursday.

Thank you Norah! Nothing beats fresh basil.
Wow, looks like they’re coming along great.
Thanks! I’m happy with the progress and hope they grow big enough to eat.
Good luck- hope that happens!
Very cool photo. 😀

Very smart of you adding the Perlite … you have a thumb as green as the basil!
