Monster Basil

"Basil" is growing into a huge monster who is ready to take over the world - beware! I was looking at his younger siblings in Asda last night, and they are more healthy looking, unlike this gigantic plant with it's brown lower stem. Perhaps we should dump this one and get a new one? However, we have got attached to Basil, which is why we haven't replaced him, and he still produces basil leaves. Tonight, Veggie Hubby and I shall probably have some (veggie) bolognaise to make the best of him.

P.S. Thanks to the owners of Basil's cousin for taking care of him in our absence, and for the sparkly new pot and compost! Hopefully they will help him to recover.
