Critter, I would love to try your italian basil if you have any more seeds :) I grew some this year but I'm curious if yours is any different; ie better tasting, the real deal! I'm into the Italian foods etc around here, my Aunt and Uncle are in Italy now as we speak. Also, I found the site with the tomato seed info~ Thank you!

We have lots of pesto in the basement freezor. I made some with red rubin and some for fish with lemon basil too. I've never gathered basil seed before though, I had always heard it was too short a season to start from seed, to buy plants...any tips on seed harvesting?
