not fair...only a texan can say he planted a basil ***bush***

for us northerners, its an annual and bushes are shrubs :)
 
I plant some in a pot at the beginning of gardening season and grow it in semi-shade. As the cold weather approaches... bring it in the house to grow all winter. I just keep pinching off the flower stalks. I still have basil growing now. The stem gets woody, but if you keep trimming... it is great! I grow Rosemary in the house too... it never goes outside. Thyme grows well inside too. I haven't had good luck with my dehydrated basil tasting very good. I'll just keep growing it fresh!

Now this sounds very interesting. I'm definately going to try this recipe. I can't wait to plant my garden. We're a little cooler here in Maine, but will start in the next week or two. Thanks for the link.
 
Mmmmmm.... I might have to come up with more ideas for my basil. This year's crop has just germinated... won't be long now!
