We grew some edible herbs on our sunny window sill to brighten our room and also in the hope that we can see some interesting things to share with all of you.

The results were indeed interesting! We planted the plants too closely together and it led to over crowding. Overcrowding causes competition among the plants and the plants will try to out grow each other.

The results, long thin stems and all trying to grow towards the direction of the sunlight.

Also, despite their relatively benign appearances, plants are competitive and will exploit any advantage they have to out grow the competition.

Look at how the taller plants spread out their leaves to starve the shorter ones from receiving sunlight!
