A diary of my life in retirement - food, books, gardening, travel, grandkids, and other pastimes that fill my days.
It's very hard to keep basil down, isn't it? The flowers look delightful.xx
I'm just happy they are doing so well in the heat.
Lovely snaps. We just planted our own basil for the first time, and it is going crazy. We only wish the petunias that are planted nearby would do so well. Happy Monday.
Petunias don't like the heat. They get very tall and scrawny. Try nipping off the blossoms as they fade.
Basil envy!!!
I really should use it more. My Rosemary is also doing well.
I like your garden tour. I grow a pot of Basil just to keep close at hand to stroke - I really like the scent. It's yummy in food too (lol).
I used to do that (stroke it) with Lavender when I had it by the door.
