Working on number 9:  keep a plant alive for more than 1 year.

Here is my basil plant...

My basil plant at 4 months.

I got her in early May, so she's about 4 months in.  Only 8 months to go!

The problem here is going to be what I do with her when the weather starts to get cold.  I don't think she'll survive out on my balcony for the winter and the only window I have that faces outside is in my bedroom.  Any suggestions?

I also have another basil plant and a tomato plant (both of which you can see in the upper-right hand side of the picture I posted).  My tomato plant is alive, but I've only gotten one VERY tiny tomato from it all year.  Take a look!

I'm making progress!  I'll keep you updated if I work on or complete any of the rest of the things on my list!
