Excellent Basil,

"I planted this basil again last year after expanding and moving my herb garden to a new site and had excellent results. Based on previous experience, I expect the basil to come back from seed year after year. I started it in trays indoors to guarantee a good start, but later I just sowed directly in the ground, both methods produced well.
My daughter and son-in-law just moved from Providence Rhode Island and we live near St Louis Missouri, both locations are known for their Italian cooking, so we all know what to expect from basil, and this basil delivers exactly what we are looking for. It made excellent pesto, was perfect in sauces, and was wonderful drizzled over tomatos with EVOO and served with cheese and crackers. Never bitter, just sweet enough and very aromantic. No problems with the plants (except the bees, if you don't pinch the blooms often enough, but that is one reason why I moved the herb garden closser to my vegetable garden- to get the benefit of all those bees).
I highly recommenr this basil!"
