This is the basil I started not even 3 weeks ago. I didn't expect it to sprout and grow so quick. I am excited that it's actually growing! I've never attempted to grow anything on my own and the fact that it's still alive and kickin' makes me proud. If I can do it anyone can. I make sure it gets a few hours of direct sunlight a day... some days it's not gonna get much, this is Ohio... and I water it every other day. Look at it shooting up. Before the summer hits I hope to have a delicious seasoning for my dishes. :)

Growing your own food/herbs is a great option for low income college students. Food is expensive, and although fast food is cheap and convenient, it's horrible for your body and overall health. Childhood obesity epidemic anyone? By growing your own produce or even just herbs for seasoning, you can save tons of money. Seriously, tons. Seeds for vegetables & herbs are rarely more than $2 and easy to grow on your own. All you need is seeds, a pot (thrift stores typically have pots/vases) and some soil which can be bought for under $5. Lucky for you sunlight and water are free. Give it a try! Save some money & vastly improve the well being of your body... not just your wallet.
