My friends gave me a pot of basil which had grown so rapidly that they couldn't consume it by themselves any more. My room is now full of green plants, the popcorn and the basil. Green color is often said to be relaxing and I really agree with this idea. They are now good accents in my filthy and lifeless room. Furthermore, this basil has a good smell and is even edible. I'm sometimes picking up the leaves both to eat and trim. It's very interesting. I'm thinking about growing other edible plants like radish or mint. It might be a good idea to survive the dark winter in Vancouver with these green plants full of life.
Basil smells so nice and tastes so good. I have never had any luck growing it, though. Fortunately, rosemary smells almost as good, and it grows like crazy in Texas.
