We're going for three different types of Basil this year. A Basil Bush, some Mini Basil and then the traditional Sweet Basil we all know and love. Look at the image on the packaging of the Sweet Basil. I find this a very odd choice! It's a shot of some fully bolting Basil. Why would I want my Basil to bolt?! Packaging is all about luring the customer in - mmmmm look at this wonderful sweet juicy herb. I can't imagine there are many gardeners out there who would want their Basil to bolt - it goes very bitter and peppery at that stage and isn't very nice at all. Oh well - let's hope for once the packaging doesn't hold true!
