My favourite herbs at the moment, Sweet Basil and Thai Basil.
There is no supermarket near my place which carry Sweet Basil. I have been wanting to plant it myself.. One day I bought a pot with only 1 sweet basil plant and cost me RM9 at Kelana Jaya Pasar Tani. With just 1 small plant, it couldn't supply what I need. My friend found a nursery which sell a pot with many sweet basil plants at RM11.30 per pot. I was overjoyed when I saw the plants at Floristika, Jalan Liku, Bangsar. I bought a pot of Sweet Basil and a pot of Thai Basil. They came in small plastic pots but I changed them to bigger pots in hope that they will grow a lot bigger and give me plenty of leaves.. :)
There is still fear that I will eat up all the Sweet Basil leaves and kill the plant. So, I want to have more Sweet Basil plants. I tried to grow it from a cutting of the plant after some research on internet.
I kept the cutting in a mug and left it in my balcony but hiding it away from direct Sun. I changed water everyday.
Finally they are in the pot....
It gives me great satisfaction using herbs from of my own balcony.. :)

I was so happy to see the root system developed over a few days.
