I've got teeny basil seedlings coming up in a pot. We'll see if they get to a usable size before a frost. They probably will. It could be 6 weeks, it could be 8. So I can sample a basiltini on a summer-like day!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30849155.post-17762190360544607112009-10-29T10:20:50.276-07:002009-10-29T10:20:50.276-07:00Oh Kim...that sounds yummy!Oh Kim...that sounds yummy!growingagardenindavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959600840504166899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30849155.post-33025194503487399692009-10-29T08:19:31.386-07:002009-10-29T08:19:31.386-07:00NM, I just read your note to Annie. :)

It sounds like a good gift idea. I wonder how anise hyssop or lemon balm would work?
