Green Thumb by rosiekerr

Green Thumb

My talented and creative daughter has a green thumb. My thumb, of course, is black. ;). She grew this basil and was picking some this afternoon. The fruits of her labor.

Thanks, as always, for taking time to visit. I appreciate every comment.
This looks lovely and fresh, and it's so nice when your kids take an interest in gardening. Will it be pesto for dinner?

@888rachel Not quite enough for that recipe... maybe stacked on mozzarella cheese and tomatoes? I am delighted that she scolds me for buying parsley at the store, because she is growing it out back. :)

I love basil and managed to grow it this year. But then it turned black - I must have a black thumb too!

Looks wonderful. It's so great to see something grow like this - I'm sure she's proud. Hopefully you had something good for dinner!

My favourite herb. I can smell it. And your shot reminds me of my 93 year old neighbour yesterday holding out to me a handful of dried poppy seed pods gathered last year. (I had admired the current ones in his garden, double and a beautiful pink).

You've got me to wondering how "green thumb" originated lol! I'll have to look it up. Great image!

Wonderful shot. Tells the story of her picking her own food and probably growing it too.

I am a fellow black thumber who has a green fingered daughter! My eye is first drawn to the lush green of the basil and then it is drawn to her fingers and nails, I love the dirt under her thumb nail and un-manicured nails it makes for great authenticity. Fav for me!
