Basil, used for flavoring many different types of foods, is a seasoning herb with a wonderfully fragrant aroma. Growing basil indoors is easy and fun. If growing outside situate the basil plants in a sunny spot where the bitter winds are blocked. Basil is grown for its fragrant tasty leaves that can be added raw to salads, sandwiches, and is delicious wrapped around cheese cubes or used in cooked dishes such as tomato and basil sauce poured over your favorite pasta.
