We have been trying to keep our basil plants alive over the winter. The few, the brave are struggling on. We sprouted some kidney beans for a science experiment. They grew and like Jonah, we were happy. We even planted a couple and they grew even more. They grew more leaves and we were excited to see their development.
And then.... the basil plant in whose pot they resided inexplicably lost all of its leaves. The bean plants looked like something had nibbled at its leaves but I saw no caterpillar.
And then yesterday, it all became clear- I saw Efendim chewing our bean leaves not once, but twice. And then, in the morning all the leaves of all the 3 plants in that pot were stripped bare of their leaves. Not a single leaf remained. Except for the ones he quickly puked out onto the floor.
Thus ends the sad story of our bean and basil plants.
