My basil:
Easily cultivated anywhere, even in small vases. Needs a lot of water and light
and when you have extra of it you can either dry it or freeze it for later use.
Its uses
one of the widely used aromatic plant in the kitchen for its flavour in salads, sauces, soups, meat etc
In Italy it is famous for its Genoa Sauce called Pesto. Most widely used in Italian recipes.
