Organic/Sustainable Basil


Erin & I have been shopping at the Poway farmers market for about a year now. About 2 months ago a new vendor turned up with the most incredible basil plants we have ever seen! It is grown at a farm in Escondido http://www.archisacres.com/. They say it lasts 4-6 weeks. You keep it in some type of container, we use a vase with a flat bottom. Each morning you take the plant and rinse the roots with water then return it to the vase and add a splash of water. My parents are on their 2nd or 3rd plant now! We have never seen basil like this before. We have a small herb garden and our the leaves on our plants are about 1/4 the size of these.
