Iām no gardener but do love plants and nature, and am keen to get into it more for sure 
Any tips? I never seem to know how much or often to water them for exampleā¦? 
Was cleaning up some vines around the yard that were choking out the trees and it made me think of the baskets fnkychic made so I tried to teach myself how to weave.

I love it! I really want one for harvesting. Maybe I need to make one, too.

Are you looking to have a houseplant or outdoor plant? There are some house plants that are very easy to care for and thrive on neglect, almost. Some plants require special care, light, watering etc.
@beachmouse oh thanks 
@RosaCanDo you should definitely try to make one. This is the YouTube video I watched to learn how

Usually various small-medium sized house plants left behind at sharehouses Iām staying, so I donāt know much about themā¦ Iām guessing thereās no āone shoe fits allā tbh, but someone once told me just to make sure the soil stays moist/spongy? Other than that assumptions have ranged from daily to weeklyā¦ 
I live in Australia so relatively hot and/or humid usuallyā¦

Season is winding down but still so many tomatoes! We had two volunteer cherry tomato plants pop up from last year and just decided to let them grow wild. I love our tomato jungle and itās easier than trimming back constantly. I know I should keep it tidier but it just grew like gangbusters!

Well, I decided to attack my tomato plants today with my nervous energyā¦and Iām really happy with the results. The tomatoes are exposed so they can ripen quicker and I was able to tie up the poor long hanging branches to the trellis. Iāve got one plant left to go but itās in better shape and Iām pooped.

Do you have favorite recipes that you use it in? This is my first time growing it and I have soooo much! It went crazy. The bees have been loving it and that in itself has made it worth growing.

I love using big handfuls of it in Thai basil chili chicken, and a Thai beef salad with roasted rice powder.
Itās absolutely essential to so many Thai dishes and is what gives the unique flavour profile - totally not like regular basil in any way, and not interchangeable with it at all. In Thailand they are super generous in use of herbs (not like in western countries where they are kinda stingy) so donāt be shy when you use it. I will always use heaps more than most recipes call for.
Thai basil pesto can also be wonderful - especially the bold ones which use fish sauce and other robust flavours - and can be used to season up some pain noodles. Rice paper rolls with your favourite filings, plus fresh Thai basil leaves, are greatā¦ And a wonderful Thai Red Curry wouldnāt be the same without heaps of the magic herb.
