I purchased a six-pack of organic basil seedlings a few weeks back, and I planted three of them at home and three of them in one of the planting boxes on the deck at my office.
My basil here at home looks atrocious, despite my diligence in watering. However, at my office, just a few miles north (and therefore much sunnier, thanks to these strange microclimates,) my basil has been yielding me nice big bouquets with which to make pesto. The plants are getting huge!
