Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I harvested my first Thai basil leaves last Saturday! That's about 3 weeks since planting. Decided to try out a small batch of Thai basil stir fry chicken. I think I can harvest again this Saturday, the leaves grow really quickly since I have three sets of plants. Thai Basil Chicken Stir Fry 200g chicken breast, sliced thinly then marinated Marinade: 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil 1 small onion 3 cloves garlic 2 cili padi, sliced 1tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp fish sauce Basil leaves, sliced It's really easy to make!

We have money plants though, which I put in the sun only on weekends but those plants can survive anything so those don't count. HAHA. With my very own plantui I hope to grow my own herbs! I started out with Thai basil on Sunday (cos who wants normal basil when you have Thai basil!) and yesterday I added in 1 pod kale and 2 pods coriander. Will be updating on the progress soon! So far I see that the thai basil se
