Hi there @nataliejohnson!

An awesome write-up you have here as we ourselves grow a lot of kinds of veggies in our country home.

Veggies ranging from cabbages to carrots, melons to watermelons. brinjals to beens, frasbeans to salad greens, tomatoes to potatoes, celery's to coriander. You name it and we have it as we usually eat our produce only for the winters here which are pretty extreme.

And along with all these then we do grow Basil as well and use it extensively in salads or when we make spaghetti with prawn sauce topped with Basil greens. The taste is pretty pungent and the smell is very specific which is just perfect for the dish.

We love the way you laid out the different varieties of Basil as its always good to know knowledge.

Thank you for a wonderful and enlightening post, and we look forward to many more...

Cheers & God Bless!
Nat & Nelly :)
