Potted Sweet Basil Herb
Fresh basil grows vigorously in indoor pots, producing broad leaves along thick stems. Placing basil in a simple pot keeps fresh herbal leaves accessible for cooking.
Cooking with Fresh Garden Basil
Sweet basil is a popular herb in Mediterranean cuisine, famously used to make pesto sauce alongside garlic, olive oil, and pine nuts. Pinching off the top leaves of a growing basil plant encourages the stem to branch out and yield even more foliage.
