Rescuing Basil with Alma

Alma and I met for our last (sniff-sniff) meeting regarding our class.  We meet at Whole Foods. I buy a tea and I just have completed a card to get a free drink.  I might walk over there today and.....

Anyway, we were wandering around looking for samples after we finished and we saw these basil plants. They did not look very chipper.  I said, "They left them out in the cold. You can't do that to basil.  They like to be hot (like all Italians).  They also need to suffer a bit (um)." WF had marked them down so we snatched up two.  Here is mine. I have not trimmed it yet because I might make something with pasta this weekend for our guests the Escobars. See the little container to the right?  I planted basil seeds in that and growth!  Hooray!
