In the process of digging holes for the pergola supports, Mike dug up this basil plant and it languished uprooted all night. It was already suffering from some kind of unexplained chlorosis, and was limp and wilted when I found it the following morning. I put it in a pot with holes in the bottom, added potting soil, and stuck it in the streambed. It has perked up considerably since then.
It amazes me what some plants...and people...can go through, and survive while others, who have more advantages and fewer challenges, don't do so well. I think this basil plant is a survivor.
