Resilient

The logistics of our December move made bringing our plants to the new location questionable, so I brought them to my Mom's apartment. They looked quite healthy when we returned on our July visit.

In the background, you can see some basil leaves. Yes, this plant was part of a trio of basil plants which I first planted in 2009. Here's a look at them in the summer of '09:

Most of the plants, including all the basil, develop some type of issue, perhaps a fungal infection, which decimated them in 2010. However, one of the basils survived. It was a scrawny, twiggy looking plant with only 2 or 3 good leaves, but now, it is thriving once again.
