Basil

I can add Basil to my meager list of plants I grow successfully. So far, the easiest crops for me here in NC are:

• Peas
• Beans
• Basil

Quite a small list, but at least it is better than no list! Basil is great companion for many plants in the garden. From experience, I can tell you to pick off that big leaves. This is key to getting a big plant. Basil likes to be pruned continually.
The leaves you pinch off can be dried and stored for spicing up your pizza sauces and such. I love sweet basil because it has such an aromatic smell to it.
