Shearing season

We took cuttings from the grown plants and planted them, along with the stalks that the cutting left behind. We also started some seeds.
This (see below) is what happened.
Yay!

May they triumph through this difficult season and rise again, with more leaves than they had before!
Mmm. Who can complain when they have a pile of basil this high?
The end result. Yummy!
