Our volunteer basil plant is representative of a forgotten idea. Its initial appearance brought a smile and some attention. We paid attention to it and even watered it a few times. Then we forgot about it again. The basil developed and matured without us. I looked over at the plant one day and appreciated its beauty and growth. I harvested a few leaves and then left it alone again. Its increased size may catch my eye more often, earning a bit more attention now. Perhaps we’ll even water and trim it as our desire for basil increases in its presence.
