Delicious
Posted by Lucy Turner on 1st Sep 2011
We're in Berrima, Southern Highlands, NSW. We grow this variety in our flourishing school garden at Berrima Public School. It is vigorous, very productive and has exceptional flavour, noticably different from your average "sweet basil" from the local garden centre. Haven't tasted it this good before.

Basil to Burn!
Posted by Di Franks on 17th Jan 2011
This is my second year of growing this basil from your seed. It sure beats buying punnets from the nursery which just seem to run to seed. I plant it among my tomatoes (to hopefully ward off pests). It is strong in growth and flavour. It is a wonderful strain of this versatile herb.
