It’s been about two and a half months since I started playing with the Click & Grow (and it seems like a whole lot longer). I find that I’m enjoying the hobby, and I see no reason to stop.

So my basil is still growing strong, as you can see. And that’s after I added the additional light arm to the Click & Grow, and also trimmed a number of branches off to give to my Mom for her cooking needs.

I’ve mentioned a few times now that I have an issue with growing plants that my cats shouldn’t have access to. This weekend I finally got around to doing something about it.

Yeah, they’re starting to get big. I think I’m going to have to trim them down; maybe give some to my Mom since I have far more than I need. I don’t have anything to cook with it at the moment, unfortunately.

Still growing! Yesterday I snipped off half a dozen leaves, tore them up, and put them in my favorite soup instead of the usual dried stuff. The taste is markedly different; it was really good!

Here we are, on day 27. I still haven’t added any water. It looks like it’s about half empty now; when I remember to go to the store and buy some bottled water, I’ll fill it back up.

Day 24. Three and a half weeks, and still looking good! Only a few more before I should have some fresh basil for my kitchen… My cats have become… interested…

I’ve always been vaguely interested in growing my own food; for some reason, it’s really appealing. Outdoor gardening, however, is generally messy and a huge amount of work. Historically, that has kept me away.
