Netting myself some basil  The bug protection worked for the most part, the only thing left to battle is the snails that are now munching on my peppers under the netting. But the holy basil came thru with flying colors.

hey - what variety is that? i am curious.
i've grown 3 types of tulsi but they look completely different.

is it perennial?

or rather tender perennial, perennial in zone 9-10 like other tulsi basil?

Holy Basil, Tulsi, Heirloom, Organically grown

I bought it off ebay that was the description.    So it appears to be Tulsi.

interesting.

maybe it's just that you got such big leaves there...i get a lot of medium sized leaves...but no...those look very different than any type i have grown.  more green, lighter green, and bigger juicer looking leaves.

theres at least 6 types anyway...all of them perennial, in the right climate anyway...

get any seeds?

I know when I grow in different systems  whether hydroponic or standard organic the plant can look totally like a different plant.     What nutrients the plant gets makes all, all the difference.

The one I grew inside looked sickly but these that got full sun with korean nautural fertilizer have just gone crazy.

I don't have seeds yet still only have like the 30 I have when I started, I hope to let a few of these goto seed.

if you get any seeds later i would be interested...if you had a bit of excess later...and wanted to trade some...

but yeah you should let some go to seed since they grew so well...
