I just picked up my very first organic basil plant. My challenge now is to keep it alive and healthy!

Cool!! Do you know what type of basil it is?

 

[knitnmom]

There are types?! Ha!! I have no idea. How many types are there?

 

[madhen]

There are quite a few. My favourite is cinnamon basil, because it smells so good! There is also curly-leafed basil, Genovese basil, purple basil, Greek basil, etc and so on. I think there are a couple of dozen varieties out there.

Fantastic! I love basil, and growing herbs. I was wondering like Madhen what kind it was as well. I grow many types in my garden in the summer.

Well, I checked the tag on it and all it says is "Organic Basil." It smells wonderful though!!
