Say you're an Air Force brat and you're talking to your mates, and your mates are deaf, and you're living in Japan and you need words for Japanese cities but there aren't any in asl and you're sick of spelling them.
It could happen.
This guy shows how to say them, but they're only so good in limited situation.
Flower-free backyard on the verge of needing a light top-levelling scything.
This year is a longer grass experiment, in an attempt to eliminate clipping removal from the operation. Clippings disappear into the lawn, is the theory.
I can grow all the onions and garlic I want on my deck. Chives, too, of course. Tarragon is easy, as are various thymes and oreganos and parsleys. So why can't I grow basil? Is it divine punishment for some sin (sins, more likely) I have not done penance for? Just tell me. I need to know. I'm suffering, here.
I almost didn't publish this because I don't like it. It's not funny. Lois Lerner, the lifeforms are known for being stupid and they get lower and lower.
I threw it away. But then this morning I thought even if it's not funny it's my duty to pile on.
In my Aerogardens, it is always basil that sprouts first, in all its forms. It is my favorite herb for its ease. Once it bolts the plant is doomed, and they usually bolt rather quickly. You can forestall the plant's imminent death by pinching off the flowers, then it is a matter of pinch pinch pinch, all the time pinch, constant pinching so that finally at length you go, "Die already," and make pesto.

I never have too much basil, but I frequently have too much tarragon. I eventually go into a frenzy of bernaise-making and salmon-cooking, until I enter a Omega-3 oil induced coma. I'm so stupid. My baby sister is the herb gardener at a local top-end restaurant, and a certified Master Gardener. But I never asked her about my basil. Sigh.

Very pretty.
The paucity of posts was worth it.
I also think Madame La Professeur needs some time in the sun.
Hopefully, warm sun.

A side-effect is no dandelions.
Mine aren't blooming yet and I'm south...

My wife allium, but I've never cared for their big round flowers.
My wife loves allium. Fixed it.
I've never had any luck with the basil either. I assume it's soil related but never bothered to investigate.
Do you serve an allium tisane at this café?

That sounds...not so good.
Have you tried basil from seed?

Also, study Chip Ahoy (above) -- check.
I just think they're pretty. Had no idea they're onions.
All onions are allium but not all allium are onions.

I am now inspired to grow more basil. I think the main thing I was doing wrong was not pinching aggressively enough, as Chip Ahoy noted.
