That basil plant is huge, I am going to try to save some seed, had
never heard of African Basil but saw the plant when I was shopping
this spring. It smells wonderful when you walk by it.

Sounds delicious and very much like a Thai dish I love, Gang Ki Warn
(Green Curry) Pla Muug (Catfish). Eat my SPAM to email for recipe(s).

trying to replenish my missing herb garden.
