I started out last year with 3 plants and dried the rest in a dehydrator for
the winter. This year I planted the seed from last year as a hedge that
really took off. I have more basel than I can use in 3 years. Luckily I live
where I work a mini storage facility, so my tenants are helping me use it
all up. Who knew basil would grow this well in Kentucky, but then peppers,
cucumbers and tomatoes grow great hear also.
