"A man taking basil from a woman will love her always
~ Sir Thomas Moore
Well, I don't know that I can say that about basil, but I do know that basil
is the absolute essence of summer.
Heat loving, easy to grow from seed, heavenly scent, great variety,
and incredibly versatile and delicious in the kitchen. Probably the easiest
kitchen to table
plant you can grow in your garden.
(No, it's not too late to plant now...I adore this tiny-leaved Pistou Basil. ) Find it and other varieties here.
