Update: Basil Growth

 After 10 days, here is what happened to my basil plant.  Hooray!  Watering regularly is working.  See how many leaves have grown!  I sprinkle it with water, about 3 times a day to keep the leaves free of insects, and the soil moist.

 The stem I cut from the top of one stalk is growing too!

 Very green!

Excited to harvest
