Much like our recent lettuce video, we took to YouTube to share our Favorite Basil Varieties. Each year we grow at least 8 different types and you can do. Just want this video and jot down the names of these beautiful, leafy green herbs.
Why are they our favorites? Not all of them grow well for us every time, but they have shown themselves to be fun and interesting to grow. And of course, delicious! Let’s celebrate the summer of basil together.
