I started mine in a small pot then transplanted to a 5 gallon pot. I like their smell because they have a bit of fruit loops (like the morning cereal). I have mine in partial shade under a sparse tree and one in full sun. Photo taken in late July.

hi ashley, my experience is that various herbs are used as diagnostic tools for determining the cause and treatment of body pains, spiritual malaise and various illnesses. There are as many techniques as there are practitioners. the local basils are commonly used. i’m not really at liberty to put a finer point on it, richo
