Basil

A few weeks ago, a friend bragged about her hybrid Bearded Irises. There hardly is a plant on the market these days, it seems, that is not a hybrid. Two years ago, I had a huge crop of Thai basil in my garden, right next to an equally huge planting of purple basil. Guess what I have this year . . . . "purple Thai basil"? I have no idea what it tastes like (the plants are still too small to try), but I'll let you know later in the season!

Basil is my favorite herb, so I'm very interested in how this combo comes out. Speaking of which, I found seeds for "lime basil", which I'm trying out for the first time this summer. I really want to see what this one tastes like. Cheers!

I'll post the results here when I have used it in a recipe. The stuff is really growing! Good luck with your seeds; let me know how they turn out.
