Can you believe this plant?! My basil plant has grown to an astonishing 3 feet tall! You can see I put a ruler down just to gauge it's height, and was surprised at how much the plant dwarfs the ruler! I have been trying to use it as much as possible, but unless I start putting basil in my cereal, ice cream, enchilladas, shampoo, and toothpaste, I will NEVER use it all up! Heck, I could use it as TP and still have extra!
You can see at the top of the plant that there are even more sprouts coming up! Each one of those sprouts has 20 or so leaves! I am going to check out on the web instructions on how to dry it, but until then, I need to get really creative in my uses for it!
Basil pancakes, anyone?

that is the biggest basil plant i have ever seen. will you come down here and teach me to have a green thumb?
It's the biggest I've seen, too. I didn't know they could grow so large.
That's what I was gonna say ...try drying it, and you could make all kinds of things from it: basil soap, basil sachet with lavender, basil art projects with the kids, and bottle up the stuff and sell it, Basil Queen.
I used to call my sister, hedu. buy i don't think she leaves comments on blogs!
