Watering my white basil plants which are growing very well

Planting isn't my favorite activity, but on my last trip, I brought back some white basil to keep here at home. When cooking, it adds a special and unique touch to our meals, especially meats, thanks to its incredible aroma. Besides the white variety, there's also a purple one, which I'll try to get on my next trip if possible, to expand my small garden.

I also took advantage of the little water in the drum (and waited for more to arrive later) and used a plastic bottle to water both plants, both the roots and the surrounding soil. The sun has been extremely strong these past few weeks, and this way, they can cool down. It might not be very noticeable, but the plants aren't planted directly in the ground. Instead, I dug a hole deep and wide enough to bury them in the plastic bag they were in, ensuring the best conditions for growth, which they are certainly achieving.

We don't have a very large space, but I think we could make much better use of it and consider growing more aromatic herbs for cooking, such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, and cilantro. However, cilantro might present a few challenges, as it thrives in a place with more consistent watering. This concludes my brief contribution to the #hivegarden community, where I will gradually continue working to create a dedicated space for my aromatic herbs, which I will primarily use in cooking. Perhaps later, I'll try to grow other herbs like tomatoes, sweet peppers, and bell peppers.
