Best. Basil. Ever.

As some of you will remember we dove into the whole 'indoor garden' thing a few months ago. Well, look how far it's come since then:


Jesse is pretty handy when it comes to 'making do' with what he's got to get good results.  Those are Steralite containers that he's modified.  Pretty cool, huh?

Peppers, green beans, black cherry tomato.

Dill, romaine lettuce and our giant and completely amazing basil plant.

Lettuce, brussels sprouts and a tomato starter.

Who's going to have fresh vegetables in the middle of December.  That would be us.  Woot!  We tried to grow herbs outside this year and while the oregano and thyme did well, the basil and dill just never quite could hang and what we've grown indoors has far surpassed it in both growth, quality of plant and flavor.
