But, yes, Meryl, it does seem to be a possibility, although I suspect to keep it really growing you would need lots of light. And Vancouver, it's the cold that turns it brown. Do try the technique. I think you'll like it! Naturally, tonight I see some deterioration setting in (due to those underwater leaves, I think), although that doesn’t diminish the technique one iota.

I always have a quarrel with basil. I love basil but everytime I buy a bunch they get brown before I've had the chance to use them all up. It's a tad frustrating. I'll try this with the next bunch of basil I get. Thanks for this tip. I always have a quarrel with basil.
