My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Basil plant sprayed with bug spray

12 years ago

My husband was spraying the windowsill with bug spray but forgot to move the basil and thyme plants. Are these still edible if I wash them?
