For the most part I enjoy the apartment I’ve been living in for 3 years. And now, MY apartment is OUR apartment. The setup is great for now, even though we don’t have room for every.single.thing we own (we still haven’t turned in a work order for the spare bedroom closet shelves to be fixed).
I’ve always enjoyed growing my plants on the patio (my version of nesting without kids or pets) and after the basil I was growing died during our honeymoon, I planted more. I can’t wait till it’s big enough to eat on some caprese pizza!!! Or maybe even make into pesto.
But if you’ll notice, on the pictures of the basil, there are some little sawdust shavings. That’s from these crazy carpenter bees boring holes into the wood on my patio. I’m sure it’s not the recommended plan of action, but we’ve sprayed bug spray up in their holes to try to keep them from coming back, and then today we also put some expanding foam sealant in there.
Hopefully the bees will stay away from now on.

Oops, should have also said but think of the caprese (sp?) that you can have with the fresh basil!
