Even at the best Nurseries locally I just get a blank stare.

I checked Nichols and it worked out to $15.50 for a plant with S&H

.

DW dragged me down to the local nursery for some spinach starts Tuesday. They didn’t have any but they had just gotten in some Greek Columnar Basil so I snapped one up. It was only $2.99 for a good-sized plant.(Navlet’s if you’re looking for some locally.) Maybe fall is the best time to look for it. I’ll put it in a protected spot and hope to have fresh Basil all winter!

I bought mine at alwayssummerherbs.com 3.50 for a plant and for 1 plant shipping is 4.95. Of course 2 plants is 5.73 to ship etc.
