Sadly, the above basil sprout dried to a crisp and withered away a few weeks ago, and my planters remain dry and empty. I was remiss at watering my seedlings enough, and the big, romantic thunderstorms of last summer have yet to arrive and routinely drench my herbs.I aim to plant more basil seeds soon. And whether it's homegrown or store-bought, I do declare there will be fresh pesto made in my kitchen sometime this summer!
