I cannot.

I tried basil on my window sill (won't grow outside here) but sadly it curled up its toes and died. I so love a salad of tomatoes, mozarella and basil, but I have to buy it fresh every time I want to make the salad.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
