The basil plant takes sun and continuous water to grow and prosper. It yields plenty of leaves for use. It can be used in salads, a stir-fry, sandwiches, and more.

That's a lovely basil plant, is it yours? We've recently planted two tomato plants with some basil around the edges, but they need to grow a bit more probably before they will be ready for plucking and eating.
ReplyDeleteI live quite close to a lovely fruit/veggie market and I bought this basil plant at least a month ago for $5 and it continues to prosper. Tomatoes are one of my favorites! We have a few plants with many green tomatoes but so far only 3 have ripened enough to eat (and they were consumed with gusto).
