Last Thursday (3/17/11) we decided to plant Lettuce in the cup that wasn’t showing any signs of growth of the Basil.  Today when we came in (3/22/11) we found that it has already grown more then our Basil had and we planted the Basil at the very beginning of the project.  Our Basil was also turning dark and did not look like it had survived. We made the decision after more research to remove the dead Basil plants and plant lettuce in our Water Culture system since it is a plant that thrives on plenty of water. Hopefully we will see more progress in the future.
