Growing Basil in a Mason jar

A friend gave me a kit to grow herbs in a mason jar with some water and liquid fertilizer. We have been having highs in the 50's here in central Florida and gray depressing days, so I am using a grow light to make the Basil happy. The water and fertilizer go in the jar. The top has the plate taken out and replaced with a strainer, growing medium, and some heavy cloth strips that wick the water up into the growing medium. The
Basil has sprouted and look healthy. It is still small. Nice indoor project for January.
