I have several kinds of basil planted and growing in my garden!!!
Great tips, thank-you as a beginning herb gardener.
Yes, I have sweet basil and lemon basil.
Yay I am doing this right /grin I make pesto with mine and eatit all the time I am like a kid in a candy store as soon as something ripens I eat it lol Having a lot of fun wish I had done this earlier in my life /shrug thank you for all you help I am going to try to budget some of your monthly pkgs when the AC bills go down love and blessings
❤ love basil! Great tips for new gardeners and a reminder to veterans 🌿 I have my basil in a different garden space and have kinda forgotten about this summer. Oops
Yes we have basil growing right along with our tomatoes.
Hello this is my very first experience with farming. Basil was not successful but I am enjoying your teaching on caring for Basil. Thanks 😊
Basil is flourishing—one of the few things really enjoying our 100+++ temps
I did not plant basil this year, but I have volunteers. It readily reseeds.
