Basil plants aren't too big (usually- yours might be!) Maybe you could dig it up, pot it, and bring it indoors? I don't know if you can do this with basil, but even if it would only last 2 or 3 months more, at most, you'd still have an attractive, great-smelling houseplant for a short time. I think cutting it back first would also make the transition from plot to pot easier (not so many leaves for the roots to support).

They are constantly updating the track of the storms. Fiona is headed to Canada now but storm #9 as yet unnamed is churning away and they are playing the guessing game where it will head. Florida is in the expected path.
Yes, I think I may actually do that. I cut it back a lot today (four batches of pesto!), and I have sunny spot in the kitchen where I think it will do pretty well. It's bigger than what you get in the store, but it will fit in the spot where I want it to go.

Hurricane Ian is on the march! Right now the track is very uncertain but it will impact Florida in some way in the middle of next week. The weekend is going to be nice though! Rain chances are low.

We had the spring equinox here a couple of days ago. It still feels like winter. I wish the warmer weather would hurry up!

We survived with only 20 hours without power and a section of fence blown over. Oh, and my wife's computer may be fried.

It is a beautiful morning here. The next few days will be calm before the storm decides where to go. We will get some effects from Ian just not sure how bad it will be. It all depends on how he tracks into the Gulf of Mexico.
I’m nervous for my Florida peeps! I hope it doesn’t end up being too bad. I also have cousins in Naples. I keep seeing that there will be damaging winds, torrential rain, storm surge/flooding and tornadoes! Well, that there could be. But I don’t like hearing that.

Keeping all the Florida folks in my thoughts. I hope you get off as lightly as we did only catching the corner of Fiona.

The storm has moved much farther east and will come across the state from the Sarasota area. I am watching the latest report right now. Once it hits, it will slow down and the flooding will be monumental. It looks like it is going to track right up I-4. We will be under tropical storm conditions here. I am as prepared as I can be. I have flashlights, batteries, and I am charging up all my devices and battery packs. I will fill the freezer with ice but there is not much room.
I hope you are not in a storm surge area? I think SB might be! I hope you will all fare ok.
I’m getting so nervous for my Florida friends and family! One of my coworkers retired to Florida in April 2019. She’s in Venice.

I am pretty far inland but SB is in Tampa. Venice is not a good place to be either! I have friends there too as well as Clearwater. They just said it will probably make landfall around Ft. Meyers.

I just texted my grandson who is at the University of South Florida in Tampa. My gosh they are so not prepared! He said he doesn't have a portable phone charger or a flashlight!
