My Plants

So sad.....can you see the other plan consoling basil, its little arm outstretched. Poor poor Basil!Here they are together, they got along so well.

So the other day I was at the market and they were selling fresh basil, root and all. So I bought one, it was so fresh and lively and yummy! It had instructions for keeping it alive short term and long term. I choose the long term because I felt that our lovely other plant needed a little brother (obviously it is a brother since his name is Basil). So I ran over to our local hardware store and purchased a pot. I tried to buy dirt too, but they wanted to sell this huge bag of dirt to me. No way do I want to keep a big bag a dirt in my apartment, so I decided to got and steal borrow dirt from the park. I went to the park with my pot and a hammer (I don't have a shovel) and started digging up dirt around a tree, but there was too much bark and crap in the dirt, you know for aesthetic reasons. So I snuck over to the planters by my apartment building and nonchalantly dug (don't worry, I stopped when ever anyone was around). I got back upstairs and inserted my lovely basil and the dirt and gave it some water. Well apparently I have been struck down for stealing dirt, because Basil is on deaths door step. What to do??? Maybe the sand content was too high, I just don't know. So now, plant will be an only again. (If anyone can tell me plants real name, I'll give you......a high five next time I see you.)
Here it is with some lovely flowers, at one point it had 4 flowers all on one stem.
