March 14 -
Basil acts as a natural pest repellent for so many things so I'm growing several basil plants to place between plants for the purpose of repelling insects. I only have 1 square that I'm using for harvest. Now that I think about it, I probably should give that square up and place something else in there?
I planted 5 of the Italian Basil and trust me, once 1 plant takes off, 1 is plenty for a family of 4 and we eat a lot of basil.
I have never seen purple basil. I received these seeds at the Spring Symposium so I plan on placing these in my front yard around my flowers. Everything in front is pretty much green so it will be nice to have a contrasting color that also repels bugs and I can eat it if I want. :)
I planted 5 of the Opal Basil.
