It's funny actually that you posted that ziploc trick. I just learned about that on Sunday actually. A friend of mine grows basil as well and was going on and on about all these garden tips. This recipe looks amazing, and I am very excited to go home and try this out! It's going to be great for my house warming party in August. Cheap, beautiful, and tasty are the three best words to describe my ideal treat!!!
Yum. I will have to try this. I like your other recipe, too. I had never heard of the ziploc trick before. You've given me lots of good ideas.
I can grow all kinds of plants but have had multiple failures with basil. Now I will try again with your greenhouse tip.
Your student-budget recipes are great. I'll try to find some to share. Most budget recipes involve pasta!
