It won't be that long till it sprouts again anyway!<br /><br />Gail, I left the one branch that was green on the plant in honor of Frances!<br /><br />Kathy, I wondered about that too.<br /><br />Layanee, my thought exactly!<br /><br />MMD, I'm not sure how I feel about being compared to RR!<br /><br />Rose, I doubt I could plant basil now & have it live. This one has a good strong root system so it can hold up to the cold.<br /><br />Leslie, I'll clip a sprig and keep it on the windowsill, how's that?<br /><br />Carol, I'll probably have more basil seedlings than I know what to do with by May!<br /><br />Pat, I cannot imagine what that's like. I literally have no frame of reference! When you coming down to Katy?<br /><br />Susan, yep, there will always be more basil!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-10490212788319796732011-01-13T11:23:55.447-06:002011-01-13T11:23:55.447-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-89654389531359320202011-01-13T07:27:26.703-06:002011-01-13T07:27:26.703-06:00Easy come, easy go.
