Basil seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Basil for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. sowing and planting out after last frost in spring was the clear high point — everything you're told about Basil at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

attractive to bees and other pollinators when in flower is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a dedicated raised herb bed near the back door as the ideal position. dividing clumping herbs like chives every two or three years was the lesson I took into next year. bolting in hot dry weather especially with cilantro is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
