Default Sweet Basil

"fanbball" asked:
thanks penelope. and i was ready to throw it away because it didn't
look like the typical basil. I'll have to give it a try in pesto as
well. do you have any other ways you use basil?


It's also makes tea smell really good and adds a nice aroma to any
area. Supposedly it helps keeps flies and mosquitoes away from
things although some folks indicate that it doesn't work against
mosquitoes so at least getting rid of flies offers some benefits. The
bad thing is that once it's on your hands it might get hard to pick up
another plant and smell the other plant (flower).
