Heya, Robin! That's great news! You're a good momma to them!
Chocolate Basil? Still searching...
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into D's garden the "VOR" strikes again. :)
have you ever seen the chocolate basil, Vortreker? Im not quite sure where Ozark is. I wonder if that table you posted has any sources?
Unless what I remember is nuts - I bought a six pack at Home
Depot in Tuscaloosa once upon a time.
gloria,
I am just kidding.
I personally do not think Chocolate Basil really exists.
Just having some fun-sorry if I got your hopes up.
Not Safe Vor. These are serious basil lovers here. Watch your back!!!
Vor...you are NOT SAFE... A scorned woman is a dangerous woman....and there are alot of scorned women on the "Chocolate Basil Thread"..( even tho we love you) BUT... even Bigfoot cannot save the man that teases a woman w/ chocolate basil......
;-) mj
What MJ are you giving up? He is not telling the truth!! He wants us to think there is no chocolate basil because he knows you are getting close and he wants it all for himself!! And there is always a bit of competition you have to factor in. He has different hormones then we do he has to win!!
Take a breath start again we will find chocolate basil!!
ohhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooo, not giving up.............one thing that I am is STUBBORN. Just ask my DSO and DS......an honest to goodness Taurus here.
I've got to drive down to Orlando this morning, if I can get out of there early enough I will swing by Seminole Springs Antique Rose and Herb Farm ( I think some of you have ordered from them online)....do a little "basil hunting"........
Yeah MJ Go! I hope you find it! Just to spite a MALE person who would dare doubt that chocolate basil exists. I suppose he doesn't believe in the Easter Bunny either!
Or , Santa, or the tooth Fairy.
Wow!--Am I being attacked by a bunch of estrogen dominated beings just for teasing them with "chocolate"?
Gotta go prepare for the coming of the easter Bunny and guard my chocolate Basil from the local predators.
Hey. I haven't seen estrogen around here for 20 years. Its a come and go thing you know!
LOL--
Oh, a spark of hope. The Easter bunny !! Vor spoke of the Easter Bunny!! He is softening.
I am "putty" in the hands of the estrogen "beings" :)
Vort, there is a cure for testosterone poisoning, which is seems like you might have. One is your self admission of being putty in the hands of estrogen beings. The second is to take two herbs and call me in the morning.
Happy Spring everyone!
well I never made it to Seminole Springs Herb Farm yesterday.....errrrr, had to come home one way to do another errand and they are way the other direction....can't go today...maybe next week I can get over there.
course this may be a subconscious way of me trying to protect my checking account or credit card from further damage.
I had some chocolate Basil to give away but everyone here seems to have lost interest so I fed it to the cat.
The fiber is good for the cat so excellent choice.
LOL--
that was quick
testosterone poisoning? metastasized?
LOL-Again
Yup--Viva testosterone
Viva estrogen also--makes a nice combination
Viva chocolate
Viva "La differance"
:)
Hows your cat doing? Have your noticed he has GREEN/Chocolate eyes?
One eye is green--the other is brown
It is laying on its back purring--smiling
AWWW! I hope he will get to stay in out of the cold tonight!
My cat is already in trouble for eating my Clitora Vine(Butterfly Pea) , IF I had Chocolate Basil and she ate it she would most definitly end up in the parking lot of the nearest Chinese restaurant with Vort holding her paw.

LOL to mjs and critter
Stupid Missouri Botanic Garden!!! On another list, someone said they saw seeds for orange cilantro there. Now, we have another wild goose chase to add to the chocolate basil hunt.
mmm, orange and chocolate combined!!!
Maybe write a book: Mythological Herbs: Figments of Our Imagination
Yeah, I couldn't believe Marna didn't do a Chocolate Basil article for the first of this month! ;-)
Wouldn't it be cool if they found all these great herbs we want growing in the tropical rainforest? The pharmaceutical companies would pass on them, but not us!
Hey Vort,
sorta off topic here but how are you making out w/ the giant fennel seeds in the cooler.....nada for me so far, but I'm having a hard time maintaining temps.may just have to wait till I turn on the A/C.
mjs---I havent tried the cooler---Tlhink I'll wait until fall---Sorry yours haven't worked out
I didn't use all my seeds so I think I'll do the same.
Not much new news-----just wanted to update everyone on the Chocolate Basil drama.
I have only a few Chocolate Basil plants left after Bigfoot raided the patch.
Who will start the bidding on those pittiful little survivors? They need a home.
I want pictures!!!!!! of said plant.....not that I suspect you or anything Vort ;-)....rather I suspect Bigfoot may have transplanted a "fake".....into your garden...actually may need a leaf or two to "sniff"....as proof!
mjs!!!!!!! Why do I suspect you don't trust me ? :(
