Basil may be our most popular herb. It’s simple to grow as long as you don’t plant too soon as it does not like cold weather! Plant it after the soil has warmed and give it lots of sun. The most popular are the Italian/Genovese types used in all kinds of Italian dishes… and of course pesto! However, we carry other types that offer unique flavors that are fun to experiment with. Hint: For best flavor, keep flowers pinched.
