It's just a small thing but I had some eggs and toast the other morning and remembered a friend's suggestion to mix fresh basil into my scrambled eggs... so I literally walked onto my balcony and harvested some basil! Mind = blown. I grew that basil! I've been lovingly tending to it on my balcony for weeks and weeks and now I get to EAT it!!

It was delicious, in case you're wondering. The eggs are fresh from my neighbor and went so nicely with the basil c:

EDIT: my neighbor's chickens I mean

But where do you get seeds for seedless toast?

yeah idk what the fuck that person is on about, you can grow whole-grain toast but white toast is cloned.

It is quite easy though: Just plant some of the crust and it'll ro(o)t within a week.

I actually use an unusual heirloom cultivar that technically is a lettuce rather than a fruit - I pick about half of my toast before it bolts and then let the rest go to seed for next year

Just shave off top layer of an everything bagel and plant it br0
