Basil

Last week, I planted some basil on the balcony at my apartment. I bought a bag of basil seeds and a bag of potting soil, just small bags.

It wrote said on the basil seeds bag that there were more than 3,000 basil seeds. I pick grabbed around 100 seeds and planted them in the pot. I thought I could planted them for years.

The meaning of this last sentence is unclear, here's the two versions that I can't decide between:

"I have thought about planting them for years" - meaning you've wanted to do this for a long time

-or-

"I think these will last for years" - meaning you hope these plants will last a long time

They It took about three days until they had grown up sprouted with two leafs. They looked like Chinese kale, one of my friends who studied about trees also said that. I also bought a bag of Chinese kale seeds but I didn't have enough potting soil. I will would buy another bag of potting soil and plant Chinese kale in someday.

I thought they were would be healthier than the basil that I buy from a supermarket. It was very fun to see them grown up day by day. I felt like I was a child who learning about things around me.
