aromatically, yes, but it's pretty bland and tastes like soap for some (not me).

Nice in Tomato soup ..... not nice with soap lol -

When you buy it in the pot & bag - next year save those items - purchase some Basil seed & sow them in the pot in may with the bag on & surface sow - do not cover - spray daily & grown on fresh Basil is wonderful - do not sow too thickly either - rinse & repat the whole season in a sunny window or a greenhouse .....

Rosemary, I make a Greek style chicken dish using rosemary and it's always incredible. Love the smell of it on the plant too. One of the great shames is it's hard to get lamb here, miss lamb and rosemary - with a mint sauce like you wouldn't believe.

Also miss Beef Monster Munch...

Basil is great but perhaps even more impressive is Thai Basil

Prefer Holy basil (krapao) of the two Thai basils. Horapha (Thai Basil) is a bit aniseedy.

It's coriander that tastes like soap to some people, due to their deficient genes.

yeah, it goes through some pains here...even when grown in the 90%+ shade of her orange tree.
