I'm pretty sure the majority of my basil plants died while I was away. My mother was supposed to be looking after them, and she tells me that they all wilted the day after I left. There's only one plant in the big pot. Surprisingly though, all of the plants in the little container made it! They all appear healthy and thriving. They're measurable at this point, so I'll start adding measurements to my blogs.

I leave for Mackinac island on Saturday. I'm going to take my little basil pot with me. Unless the big pot makes some miraculous recovery, I'm probably giving up on that one. Not sure how long they'll last. These plants seem very fussy.
