After extended practice I've attained some mastery over many kinds of culinary spices and seasonings (read: salt AND pepper) and thought I was ready to graduate to the next level - herbs. So while browsing I passed by a novel little thing called a "Pocket Garden" and kind of fell for the idea.

Grow your own basil..in a bag! What could be simpler?! .. a lot apparently. I've been waiting weeks and weeks now..offering the kind of care only a horticultural master could offer (read: watering) and have even sung a few bars of some of classic tunes for encouragement. But as of yet...nothing. I was supposed to see results after two weeks. I thought I noticed some green shoots the other day but it turned out to be mold or fungus or something. Nothing really edible unless I'm really hungry.
