Well thai basil was supposed to be one, LOL. Cinnamon basil is still good along with sweet basil.

We are growing hot peppers primarily for salsa and curry. Habaneros, super chiles, thai dragons and cajun belles.

Spices are lemon grass and basil for curry. For salsa, it is mostly cilantro, but lemon sage as well.

Others are rosemary, tarragon, lavender, sage and thyme.

That’s a very impressive herb garden in addition to regular vegetables. You can save the coriander seeds. Cumin is also big in curry and goes good with lamb. You might be where it is warm enough to take a store bought ginger root, plant it and get results

I had some amazing basil pesto this weekend at a restaurant in Knoxville TN.

I have a whole row of basil in my garden and I intend to duplicate that pesto!

I planted seeds, just regular sweet basil. I hope I have the right one!
