From what I have read about the Holy Basil, it is their flowers that are most potent anyway, along with their leaves and stems in second and third place.Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-66634145860945864652016-10-25T16:32:53.395-07:002016-10-25T16:32:53.395-07:00A lot of people like going the "herbal" ...A lot of people like going the "herbal" route.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-26548811355343171522016-10-25T14:45:08.629-07:002016-10-25T14:45:08.629-07:00I have a couple of plants called 'year round&#...I have a couple of plants called 'year round' basil, they floewr constantly and are always covered in bees, so if you are getting hives this patch may be very useful.

There are almost too many varieties of basil to choose from! If it grows with wild abandon, has good medicinal properties, and the goats love it, that would be great.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-53307741227048898012016-10-24T21:01:35.006-07:002016-10-24T21:01:35.006-07:00Sounds like it has exactly the same healing qualit...Sounds like it has exactly the same healing qualities as Tiger balm and Apricot kernels (and Snake oil).Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-40283563803030135702016-10-24T19:46:26.978-07:002016-10-24T19:46:26.978-07:00Hey Janie, thanks for all the recent emails, comme...Hey Janie, thanks for all the recent emails, comments.
