At home: 12 tomatoes, 3 vincas, 4 basil, chives, and a handful of foxglove starts.<BR/><BR/>Ahhhh I loves me some basil...sadly so do the slugs. I've planted 4 reserve basils just to make sure I get some.<BR/><BR/>Part of this is dedication, part of this is the challenge of doing it and a very small part of this is getting paid to do it.
