I think you'll love the Thai basil, Kelly; it is so fragrant and delicious. It's what you get on the side when you order Vietnamese soups or noodle bowls. I always - mostly - eat it all. Now and then, I save a piece to root and plant! Globe basil is great in salads with its small leaves and subtle flavor. I'm determined to have a bunch of basil this year so I can make my own pesto. I figure if I save on the basil, I might be able to afford the pine nuts, lol.
