And great Welsh rarebits (there's a young Lancashire cheese called a Leigh Toaster which works just great with a load of fresh basil on some strong bread).<BR/>There's also mint and chives in the pots. I'd only stopped picking the black mint in the garden the week before Chrimbo.<BR/>Once I've grown some and worked out how the pots work I'll see about rigging it up to grow other varieties of basil. Lime basil's sublime and there are some Italian varieties that have huge leaves just begging to be wrapped round a decent tomato.Kevin Musgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472110857057175327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-24745055954207105202009-01-06T17:23:00.000+00:002009-01-06T17:23:00.000+00:00Way to go, Kevverby.

Makes me realise what a waste the Thallasotherapie at Pornic was, carrot juice enemas and all. Being thoroughly worked over in the steam bath by the twig-wielder was worth it, though.Mrs Pouncerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750280825519545045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-644236029526309032009-01-06T07:21:00.000+00:002009-01-06T07:21:00.000+00:00You'll never regret growing fresh basil in my opin...You'll never regret growing fresh basil in my opinion, Kev: the taste is a transportation of delight to a mediterranean holiday without ever having to get on a plane full of Liverpudlians.Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-33540441024063089172009-01-05T19:15:00.000+00:002009-01-05T19:15:00.000+00:00delightful gift, sugar! do you cook a lot of dishe...delightful gift, sugar! do you cook a lot of dishes that require basil? xoxoxsavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-13813273005220947732009-01-05T13:39:00.000+00:002009-01-05T13:39:00.000+00:00I'm not sure that a man of my age should have anyt...<I>I'm not sure that a man of my age should have anything in the house that involves the sound of a steady trickle of water through an irrigation system.</I><BR/><BR/>It's not just men that applies to!
