[from left to right: Mr. Basil and Lil’ Basil enjoying their new housing arrangements. In the background, we see cursed, demonic, store-bought basil.]

Mr. Basil is housed <YIMBY implications> in a brand new pot! Will he survive, in any lasting form, in 2024? For the purpose of this market, the main stem of mr. Basil enhouses his soul, meaning that if new plants are made from its branches, they will be considered his children, not as Mr. Basil the patriarch.

I will attempt to keep him alive until the heat death of the universe.

I will not bet NO unless within minutes of creation/resolution, and will post occasional updates.

New Basil UPSET! Mr. Basil is growing some teeny tiny leaves, and rumor has it this is either a tumor or a bloomer. Is Mr. Basil flowering??

all hail the comeback kid! 💪

My new favourite flowers are tiny white Basil flowers :D

See His Majesty, in His moist throne. He has reached greater heights than any before him, and some say he is about to touch the Heavens with his grace.
