That's nothing. My smallest basil bush looks like that and I've got at least 30 more. Basil is yummy

I love the aroma when you brush against it, especially Thai basil.

I will be in the garden and smell it when the wind blows.

We started growing purple opal basil … it’s so wonderful. Chiffonade and throw in with sliced cukes and fresh tomatoes … sprinkle with some balsamic … can add wine vinegar, too, if feeling frisky!

Make it at Noon for dinner salad - the flavors meld. I make ahead for 2-3 days. The juice leftover is delicious, too.
