The wonderful thing about cutting back the basil is smelling the aroma and tasting the sweet leaves as you trim. Our garden has four different kinds of basil, each with its own unique taste and smell, and each good for a different kind of cooking. Over the last few months, I've enjoyed testing each out to see what is best in spicing up a spaghetti sauce or curry, which basils can make a salad taste lemony and which minty, and how pesto tastes different with various kinds of basil. Our basil plants have done so well this year and they still have more to give. I'd love to share some of the joy of these summery plants with you while they are still thriving. Come in and I'll cut you some fresh!
I found a great website, if you'd like to learn more about basil. http://www.basilgardening.com/types-of-basil/
Enjoy!
