Basil Boots


I found this cute pot at Homegoods several months ago and decided to put a basil seed in it. I've never grown basil indoors and have noticed a few striking differences b/w the indoor-grown basil and the same exact seeds grown outside.

The indoor basil leaves are very delicate. They are very thin. They have the same taste, but aren't as fragrant. It has pretty much reached it's peak in terms of height. I can't get it to grow any higher probably because the root system has maxed out.

  2. Love the basil pot! And that's interesting commentary about the difference between indoor and outdoor basil. The sunlight and air (and room for more rootiness) definitely makes a difference -- interesting to know how much.
