Basil is probably my favorite herb, so naturally I would want to grow some of this in order to use it whenever I want.
One thing I especially loved when I moved to the coast is the ability to grow basil and plants all year round!
No more frosts.... the life I had known for 18 years suddenly changed - I planted basil seeds they grew, I used the basil, it went to seed, I would collect the seed and sprinkle in the pot and the cycle started again...
I had basil at every stage
So after 2 years of this I now have quite an excess even after giving many friends basil plants.

I invited my cousin and a friend round the other night to have P i z z a with fresca basilico (fresh basil)
and these were the results...

Have a go at growing your own herbs, that way they will be fresh every time!
