Basil is a great culinary herb for pasta, salads, and more. Not just the taste, but also the smell is unique. It is also a great looking plant. Basil is a warm weather herb. It does not like the cold. It hardly grows in our area even in the summer, but it does grow in a greenhouse and in a kitchen window. Since Basil changes its taste when it is dried, it is worth it to grow fresh. Plus it adds a little summer to your winter.
