Spicy globe basil
MacroMondays#Leaf
Spicy globe basil is a cultivar of Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil). Unlike some better known basils, it grows in the form of a tidy, compact bush, more suitable for gardens and small pots than most varieties. The small, densely growing leaves are used in the same way as the leaves of other sweet basil varieties.
These in the picture are young plants ready for transplanting into small pots in which they will grow over the winter on my kitchen window. I gently pressed the plants with my finger to make them better visible in the frame, and it is also proof of the 3 inch rule. (The seeds grow in a hollowed log filled with peat moss.)
HMM!
