Basil Plant from Clippings


Basil Plant from Clippings



Growing a Basil Plant from a simple clipping is easy.  


 First cut the stem of the top of the Basil Plant just below a leaf node.  


 Then, keep the top few small leaves, but strip the rest of the Basil leaves.  Keep the stripped Basil leaves and use them in your cooking.-- Yum.    

 Next, place stem in a cup with water.  In about 4-7 days,  the stem will start developing roots.  

 Then final step is to plant your new Basil Plant and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Living Large In the Cheap Seats---> June -July 2025

  Living Large In the Cheap Seats June- July 2025 I was first introduced to “Living Large In the Cheap Seats” by a college friend, Chris J., who introduced me to lawn tickets for popular bands.   We were able to see concerts at a significantly discounted rate.   After reading Brokenomics by Dina Gachman, I revised this concept and decided to share it with you.  I have been doing this for years and enjoyed wonderful experiences for FREE! Concert in the Park Series The Keehner Park concerts are 7-9 p.m. on select Saturdays between Memorial Day and Labor Day at the Keehner Park Amphitheater.  The free concerts welcome all guests to pack a picnic for the evening.  Sorry, but alcohol is NOT permitted.
