#basil @pastagang FIrst draft is up. It's sharing scrappy fiddle time! https://basil.reckt3r.rocks/

cmd+enter executes.
Expect bugs lol.
Sometimes the console helps. Often not xD

Current #basil 2.0 alpha plans are to roll it out to #dente first.
dente.cc doesn't have any visuals yet, so it fit's in a neat slot (i think)

The second batch of seeds (sown last week) is starting to show some results! Basil (in the rectangular container) and squash are coming out ☺️

No cucumbers yet, though 😞 (the seeds are around 6 years old, so nothing might come out of them in the end).

Because of the dancer in #nudel i'm thinking about mini notations and patterns.

"why doesn't basil have them?" 🤔 I already do have a parser anyway, but I think that would need a native basil -> webgl transpiler (skipping the hydra in between). And then inline the mini notation into the webgsl? with a time parameter to switch it?

Lasagnette?

dif bettween Sweet #Basil Seeds and Italian Basil Seeds

Sweet basil seeds (\(Ocimum\) \(basilicum\)) and Italian basil seeds (often referring to Genovese or other large-leaf types) are virtually identical in appearance and usage, as Italian basil is generally a type of sweet basil. Both produce small, black, edible seeds that become gelatinous when soaked, commonly used for health benefits (sabja seeds) or for growing sweet-scented leaves for pesto, salads, and cooking

Key Details on Basil Seeds:

Origin: Both are derived from Ocimum basilicum species.
Appearance: Tiny, black seeds similar to chia or sesame seeds.
Uses: Both can be used for growing plants with large, tender leaves (ideal for Italian cuisine) or for consumption (soaked in water/drinks).
Flavor Profile (of the plant): Both typically have a sweet, mild, slightly peppery flavor with hints of clove or anise.
Interchangeability: They are often interchangeable in gardening, as "Italian basil" is a general category that includes the popular "Sweet Genovese" variety

While sometimes marketed differently, sweet basil seeds generally yield the classic, large-leaf, sweet-scented culinary basil used in Italian dishes

Little Basil to be!

Started over, cleaned out the system and now doing a single basil plant. I've done multiple here before, but this time just one to let it really flourish.

Show You're With Me

Older piece from when I was experimenting with disembodied hands. This hand is holding some flowering basil leaves.
