Yes, We Have No Tomatoes
While I was in Ottawa, either Jen or Nen mentioned that potted basil plants should be able to regenerate if you prune no more than one third of the leaves. Since the local Irma grocery store carries no basil but potted basil, I decided to try to keep my plant alive.
The basil started off thick and leafy with a wonderful strong aroma. Unfortunately, after the last meal I cooked, it hasn't rebounded the way I hoped it would - I suppose I was a little too greedy. Looking at the scraggly mess it is now, I just hope a wee bit of water will revitalize those roots.
Lucky for the plant, its recovery time has been extended. For two straight days I have not been able to find tomatoes for sale in any grocery store. I have a feeling that the recent snowfall has hindered local tomato logistics. Tomato pile up at the German border! Emergency ketchup production in Hamburg!
(p.s. Krisitin, I discovered today that the Danish word for laughter is "latter")
