The leaves are dark colored. As to smell nothing yet. But I have high hopes!
Chocolate Basil? Still searching...
Marti, don't believe her, ,................I'm the one you want to give your"CB" "fruits of your labor too" ( I just KNOW I'll get alot of grief for this...........but I'm not above bribery, distraction ( just ask the guys on the archery range)..the lengths I'll go too ! " I'm naked and I have Pizza" is one of my favorite lines....but I think I may start using " I'm Naked and have gone thur the "pestofication".......haha, spell check doesn't even recognize that one !....haha not that being naked has anything to do with Chocolate Basil, and the discovery off anything !!!!!!!!!!!!!Just 'mj" being "mj"

Well, I'm not into you being naked. But will keep a list of those who have encouraged me and offer me the best bribe.
My bribe is whatever you want i'll try to get it.I don't do naked though. If you saw my 70 year old bod. You'd know why. LOL
Where is VORTREKKER? I miss that rascally politician,as i would everyone else.
I'll be out of pocket for a couple of weeks but count on it, I'll be back. Everyone watch your stash of CB.I'm on the prowl.
I know what you mean. At 63 I don't even like to wear shorts, much less a swim suit. I smelled chocolate this morning, but could of been the chocolate bar.
Advice needed.
I have mulched heavily and put down pre-emergence herbicide and still cannot stay ahead of the weeds in my CB patch. Bigfoot and Loch Nestle are too lazy to help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I will clicker train naked ermine to weed. It is the only reasonable answer. It is widely known that they revere CB and will not harm or pull it, and in fact don't eat plants, only small troublesome rodents.
After ermine weeding the beds, I think that the only appropriate preventive step is coco mulch.
LOL--Thanks
Dear DG friends,
I am in deep-dark depression and excessive misery!!!
cando1 called me a "rascally politician" and then, like a chicken--took off for two weeks.
I guess that is what one should expect from a fickle Razorback.
I guess I'll just go weed my CB patch and add Coco mulch to cheer myself up.
That is if the naked Ermines are not too aggressive and Bigfoot and Loch Nestle are in good moods.
If they are not cooperative I will let them know that the next day I will punish them by wearing my shorts.
I have "my ways"--:)
I'll come "weed" the Chocolate Basil patch......there won't be a thing left in it !
I'll help weed that CB patch! I promise to do a good job!
LOL--Why is it that I have a gnawing feeling you folks cannot be trusted?
Them emine are gnawing at you, just egnore them. We are your friends! Would we lie to you???
yeah, what she said........would we lie to you ? ;-)
UMMMMMM After much thoughtful deliberation I concluded--"Yes you would"
Us? Lie? I'm hurt. lol
Well, actually he's right. If I got anywhere near that Chocolate Basil Patch I'd steal every bit of it.
You're ruining it for the rest of us.
mjs has always been the independent stubborn Rebel type.
She gives alligators names
Spits coffee on her computer screen
Is not deterred even when Bigfoot eats her horse, Dodge PU and pink Flamingo.
So I am trying to teach Bigfoot to have an appetite for bows and arrows also. That should be the final strategic maneuver to "fix her wagon"
Celene is getting to be a big problem also.
Not sure we can handle these attacks alone so I have put an ad on Craig's list to recruit a Hobbit to join our CB protection team.
My "final solution" will be to Pestofy all of the CB before surrendering and send it to marti001.
I hate that we chased off the thread starter--"critterologist"
Where are you Jill?
She is off researching the secrets of pestofication.
I'll be right here waiting for it. Got secret weapon I can use to defend the CB. :)
Sorry marti--
I just Googled "the preservation of pestofied CB" and it said it it will work in all 56 states-(LOL) with the exception of Kentucky.
That's not fair!!!! I was all set to defend the CB from all comers!! I'm going to go cry!
WAAAAA! WAAAA!!!!
marti----stop crying--I am trying to be tough and your tears are weakening me.
WAAAA!!! WAAAA!!!! Is it still working????
I am back!!! Just in the nick of time. You guys simply cannot get along without me.
VORTREKER, I WOULD NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES want to see you in deep dark depression and misery,unless i were there to watch and injoy every second of your misery. So keep a stiff upper lip(with a tad of CB on it)
You are absolutely right.mjs,celene and marti CANNOT be trusted. Mrs bear and i flew by all their places. They are accrueing an awesome army of trolls,goblins and gargoyles. We need to act at once. Who can we get to demoish this threat to our CB? Razorbacks and Longhorns are great but not THAT great.
YOU are going to send that pestofied CB to WHO?! WHO did you say?
mjs does not spit coffee on her computer screen. That is chocolate basil!!! It just looks like coffee.
Marti, Those crying tears have got to be crocodile tears.
Geesh!!! I leave for a couple of days and everything goes to pot er-r-r-r chocolate basil pot.
Do any of you think critter wants to acknowledge knowing any of us? Probably not! LOL
cando1 --welcome back. Thanks for pointing out that marti's tears were probably of Crocodile origin. I kinda suspected that.
I had no idea that you were so mean as to want to personally witness my depression and misery.
Waaaaahhhh!!! Waaaaahhh! (is that the way one does it marti?)
Kinda leaning toward mjs as a friend--she at least told me she intended to steal all of my CB.
Now I have to un-train Bigfoot not to eat Dodges etc. But then again I am not yet that desperate for a friend.
Gosh--I promised myself not to ever let life get this complicated ever again.
ps--Letter from Critter----"I do not know any of you numskulls"
Don't forget mjs has named crocodiles.
I am a firm believer in showing respect for, and giving tribute to, our predecessors for their outstanding contributions to this forum.
tetlytuna------------"loch nestle"
celene--------------"pestofication", "Frankenbasil"
marti001-----------"Waaaaa"
vortreker-----------"Waaaaa" (plegerized)
mjs------------------ No notable contribution to date.
cando1------------"squimmin"
celene--------------"naked ermine"
critter---------------"You idiots"
celene--good grief!!! stop hogging all of the awards!.
critter---please try try to be nicer to us in the future. We are very sensitive people.
Forgot to recognize
raindance-------SCBHH aka the Sasquatch Chocolate Basil Hunt Hypothesis
Guess I need to find another way. Does bigfoot take bribes? Can I make him some homemade jelly?
You like me! You really like me!!
Chased me off? As if! I'm here lurking and training my own crew of naked ermines.
Woke up this morning.
Got the garden hose out.
Saw there was no chocolate basil,
Made me scream and shout.
There were tracks of Big Foot
And Vortreker too
I heard ermines and mjsponies (laughing)
I got the Chocolate Basil Blues!
LOL--herbalbetty---
marti--
It pains me to "squeal" on Bigfoot-but I have seen that rascal accept bribes and homemade jelly and then renege on his promise.
See what I have to live with just to get help on guarding the CB patch?
On the other hand I am totally trustworthy.
Just send me an envelope with $1000 in unmarked $20 bills, your credit card number and your bank account routing number and I will send you 6 CB seeds.
mjs must be off shooting defenseless hay bails with arrows on the back of a poor enslaved horse. :)
I think that's kinda cool.
We were at one time friends--but she is constantly trying to steal my CB and even mocked me by naming one of her backyard alligators after me. Sigh----Se La Vie
Now I am going to get a lot of emails from the hay bail defense union and the committee to "make humans allow horses to ride them."
I will forward them to mjs
Well !!! I don't make no homemade jelly for no promise breaking varmit. Thanks for the warning!
Forget the jelly---just send the money.
I am getting impatient. !!!
NO MONEY!!!! I think I'll just go buy me some hydrangeas and peonies and give up on getting CB. I'll keep trying to raise some here with my chocolate bars and chocolate watering. :) :)
