Fresh Herbal Basil Plants

Herbal basil plants have become a popular garden crop, due to the many health benefits they offer. They grow well in a variety of conditions and thrive in full sun. Basil is often used in the kitchen as a seasoning and as a garnish. It can be used fresh, but it is most commonly dried, which is a great way to preserve the plant for later use. Dried basil has a stronger flavor and is typically used in recipes like pesto, where it needs to be stored for a long period of time.
