City Gardeners

You know how a tree grows in Brooklyn?

Well, we're hoping to have basil growing in Manhattan at the Big J.

Potted on Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. at my desk,

to the amusement (or befuddlement) of my boss

One BuzzySeeds Basil Grow Kit courtesy of Jane over at Flax Hill Garden.

I don't have enough light at home,

so I left it in the window sill of the office to get growing.

Stay tuned for updates.
I have more seeds to plant if I fry this batch of soil.

UPDATE: Monday morning discovery -- too much light in office window heated up the pot and cracked it into lots of piece. Thankfully, there are lots of vases and pots in the office, so the basil pot (cracks and all) are away from the window and in new containers. Lesson learned.

I'm hoping to get pesto out of this, as well as some basil, mozzarella, tomato sammies.
