Stupid Project #2801128 That Will Never Happen

Set up a webcam to track the basil plant.

My 2-dollar-at-Target ficus died a hideous death after being unwatered for 6 weeks (although the fern managed to pull through), so I had a couple of empty plant pots. Always wanted to plant some herbs, but never bothered to track down seeds for them. But one day at Whole Earth, I saw fresh baby basil for sale, complete with roots in peat moss. Potted the plant and off we go. Seems to be doing well enough sitting on the window sill, thanks to the abundant afternoon sun. Have to resist the temptation of ripping off leaves before it settles in, though.
