I've been a fan of the Thai basil for some time now.

Give 'er a little feeding of bone meal and she will flourish for you.

I'm going to have to go out and smell mine right now. I have never taken a whiff from it. She is huge this year and putting on a spectacular show.

nice looking basil there gotch.

ever try over wintering basil in the house?
we did that this past winter. some made it others didn't.
my wife likes fresh basil on her salad. this one plant, you trim it, and
it comes back bigger than ever. i have two plants started from cuttings,
still going good. plus some new plants that are still babies.

Thanks for the tip, and I'm anxious to hear what you think about their delicately breathtaking fragrance. Like I said before, the lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch has...um...pronounced olfactory sensitivity and is no fan of most scents; this one she unequivocally LUVs!

Three (3) blooms were lain at my Dear late Mother's grave today, along with some dwarf Irises, and Lilacs. One (1)made it into a vase along with the one (1) remaining Tulip and some Shocking White Anemones:

Oh such a nice clean, fresh and very delicate scent. I love it.

Here is my plant and it's one year older than yours. I give it bone meal spring and fall.

I wasn't wearing my glasses and thought it was a Red Ruskkie type thingey; anywho, it looks promising; any others trialed it?
