I planted a new herb garden. Some of this will have to be broken out to separate machines as they mature. I've got parsley, cilantro, lemon basil, lime basil and Genovese basil.

Everything but one basil came up. But whatever the plant is in the back second from the right I don’t think it’s going to make it.  |

I have kept 3 herbs in this machine and moved the others. I have what I think are 2 lime or lemon basils and a mystery basil which is kind of curly. I’ll get a close up of that later.  |

Replanted in a new Harvest.  Shawn, is this the Nufar basil?  |

That is not Nufar. To me (and I am NO expert) it looks like Holly or Greek Basil. |

I heard on one of the FB Live chats to pinch back and add some ice cubes to the water. The colder the water the less bolting you are supposed to get.

Have you tied the mystery basil? What does it taste like?

Oh that makes sense. And my water does feel pretty warm.
The mystery basil tastes great - it’s like a very mild Genovese. But the leaves are very small. And, I have no idea what packet it came from. It’s not something I recognize at all.
