I think the Herb board is informative only for what we have tried and would like to recommend, so I will post here initially.

I am looking to grow Basil again..I have one of those free herb kits and want to pick and choose and add to that kit for a new project.
QUESTION: has anyone ever tried Dwarf Greek Basil? It is said to be similar in taste to Genovese, yet sweeter.(I like that)
and it is a fast plant to germinate and grow(I like the sound of that too).

Hydroponically grown basil tastes so spicy to me. I'll be eagerly following your project should you go ahead and do it.

I will post when they arrive and then take pm requests for seeds.
