Sprouty is still alive 86 days later.  Woohoo!

As a matter of fact, he’s doing so well that I’m seeing some actual basil leaves growing!  However, I must admit that there was a scary moment when I returned from our week in Hawaii.  The leaves were limp and dried out and he looked super thirsty.  But luckily I got back just in time to give it a little water and it came back to life!  Good job, Sprouty!  Hopefully I will have some tasty basil leaves for a caprese salad by summer.  Mmmmm…
