~:~:~ Introduction ~:~:~
Basil is one of mine and Tim?s favourite herbs. Tim is really fussy with food and basil allows me to add flavour to his otherwise quite bland diet. Basil is also incredibly versatile and although most people would associate it with Mediterranean cuisine Basil is also used in many Asian cultures such as Thai, Chinese and Indian in fact from reading the internet a bit for research it would seem that in the US and Australia more people would associate Basil with oriental and Asian food than Mediterranean; I guess it must be a proximity thing?
So let me tell you what I know about Basil.

What is a Guinea Pig?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Guinea pig is a small rodent whos real name is a cavy. Guinea pigs originally came from South America and wild Guinea Pigs were eaten as food all over the world. There are many different breeds of Guinea Pig and they also have various different hair styles such as short, long, wiry, tufty etc.
A few years ago now I brought two baby guinea pigs from a breeder. One was a short-haired guinea pig which had a smooth glossy black and white coat so he was named Badger. The other guinea pig was a white long haired guinea pig which my brother name John-Smith (after the dude in Pocahontas).

Advantages: lots of uses in cookery Disadvantages: you may not like the taste
Basil is widely grown in Britain and has many uses in cookery and in herbal remedies.
This is a half hardy plant but in warmer countries it is a perennial.
The seeds can be sown under glass in late March or early April. Then the little plants can be moved to the garden in early June. You can sow the seeds straight into your gareden in May if you prefer, but I always like to get plants off to a good start in the greenhouse.
The plants have funny shaped leaves and some of the different varieties have jagged edges to the ends of the leaves.
The flowers are quite pretty and white, but you can also get purple tinged ones.
There are lots of different varieties of basil you can grow.
African Blue has the purplelish flowers and can be used in rice dishes or in stews.
Sweet Basil is proberbly the most common one seen in ...
