¡Hola amig@s! I'm trying to actually save seeds this year and I have an embarrassing question. I cut some basil stalks as they were starting to dry out and put them on a plate. Are all these black specks seeds? Thanks!

We had some more basil ready for harvest, so I made a couple of jars of pesto and some more basil salt.

I also had fun trying to get it into glass jars without making too much of a mess, and the label printer came in handy too.

Two jars of pesto on the kitchen table.
Dozens of glass jars full of basil salt on a wooden desk. Most of them are stored inside the foam packaging the jars came in. The other jars have labels in German saying Casa Fina Basilikumsalz MHD Juli 2026 e 30ml

🌿 Small gestures for tomorrow.

I planted strawberry runners today, prepping for next year.

Just a few shoots, some soil, water… and toothpicks to hold them in place while roots settle 🤭

I'm trying basil again too — last year was a fail... It’s not a sure thing, but I’ll give it my best. Failures are part of the game.

And you — what are you planting these days?
