I just think the whole "landrace" concept is really cool.
I just sowed basil from my "real Italian Basil from Italy" strain, some from Horseshoe (2018 but stored as a hanging bunch of seed stalks) and some from Donner (2016). Why don't I have any in my own stash?? I don't know, but so far none has turned up. But I'm hopeful that one or the other will sprout. I do know where to get the seed to start again, but I refined that strain for a number of years.
Shoe refers to it as "Critter's Crinkly Basil" when he sells plants or fresh bunches of it. He now knows it's Neopolitan Basil, but he says he prefers its nickname.
