That sounds like your basil must be doing well! :-) Which reminds me, I need to get out there and harvest my basil "hedge" again...

I'm hoping I'll have abundant fresh tomatoes as well as basil, so I'll make a big batch of bruschetta and maybe some pesto butter also.

I'll try to keep up with these plants so that only a few of them are going to seed by swap time... so anybody who wants to harvest some basil will be more than welcome to it... It'll be a good time to take some cuttings for windowsill plants, also.

This is the double row of Italian Genovese Basil at one end of the veggie garden (maybe 12 feet?), plus there's some Sicilian Basil at the other end of the bed.
