A big surprize, January 19, 2009
Submitted by mackeller from Vista, CA (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)
"This basil grew strongly into a three foot by two foot wide bush and produced masses of basil. I made fresh pasta sauces, used it with alternatedly stacked sliced tomatoes , cheese, fresh picked leaves and basalmic vinager for snacks and used it to pep-up commercial pesto by adding the leaves. It lasted until the first total frost."

Small leaves, best dessert basil..., May 31, 2008
Submitted by RedWillow from Minneapolis, MN (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)
"Ok, so lot's of reviewers are saying it's not too good for pesto as it looses flavor... some say it's too small for fresh use...
How about trying the best flavor sensation I've had in a long time ~ this is the perfect, small basil leaf to use in your strawberry summer desserts / frozen summer drinks around the pool. I also candied them (ala candied violet/rose petal style) to have with fresh strawberries and they are delicious. Llook marvelous on a cheese plate with micro-greens, fruit, and your fave goat cheese/brie or whatever... Read the other reviews for gardening tips; just don't throw out the plant simply due to it's leaf size... It's perfect for desserts!"

Summerlong true to name, January 15, 2008
Submitted by luckylindy from Central NY (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)
"We planted this and did not know what to expect. Yes the leaves are tiny, but flavorful. It did product all summer long. When I harvested them I cut the plant right back then used an herb stripper to get the leaves off the stems. I did not like them dried so I froze them. This worked out great. I did not make pesto with them, but used them in quite a bit of cooking.
I am from central NY so you do not know what the growing season will be like. These did well with little care. We also have clay soil that we mix in lots of manure and compost."
