FOR CONTEXT: It turns out Lil Basil is ACTUALLY NOT A BASIL PLANT. Yeah, I know. The whole world is in shambles. It may be a Catnip, a Mint, or something else. You can judge for yourself:

We'll resolve this to a 1-week long poll that will start at the end of April. I welcome everyone to come up with their own ideas! A LOT is at stake here.

I give up

didn't we vote??

didn't we vote?? or did it die?

oh wait, I see the polls now. rip

Lil' Basil is actually doing pretty well in its new location in like the east-side big window! But Mr. Basil is doing even better. Market on that btw, /Bayesian/will-mr-basil-survive-2024 . Might have a market about lil basil some other time but we shall see

I'll reopen this and figure out at some future date what to do about this. In other news, Lil' Basil is almost certainly going to die in the next few days. He is not well.

The black death started growing on one of its leaves a week or so ago. After 2 days, that leaf fell into the pot. Now, all the leaves have black spots, and the 2 big ones are fallen. There's only two tiny ones left, both black. It's frankly pretty sad. Lil' Basil is incredibly feeble at this time. In this troubling time the Basil family appreciates any amount of prayers for Lil' Basil's battle against the.. Black Death..

Round 2 of the poll, tiebreakers!

Looks like people would like a third option. Lil' Basil is in limbo now

@Bayesian pls send updated pictures

Mr. Basil is going STRONG. Lil’ Basil, on the other hand… is having a bit of trouble.

@Bayesian definitely not a tomato. Have you figured out what it is ?

@Odoacre Apparently a mint. Not totally sure

@Bayesian Wait wouldnt mint smell minty? I will excitedly check

@Bayesian I do not smell it as minty, or anything at all really

@Bayesian it's just a cute weed

@Odoacre Is ‘weed’ a type of plant? 😅

This was a three way draw! I literally do not know what to do about that!

@Bayesian call it Lisan Spikes-Catnip

To be clear Lisan's out of the window, the current winners are catnip evergreen, basil bastardo and Lil' Basil.

Moreover, big upset! Some of the voters for the Lil' Basil option are banned accounts, and they don't count in my polls if I notice them. Therefore I'll make a tiebreaker poll between catnip and basil bastardo.

looks like a tomato to me

@Odoacre hmm upon googling the tomato leaves seem less spiky than lil' basil but you might be onto something

This does look similar

@Bayesian do you have an updated pic?
