Tom-does the purple basil smell any different than the others? I know you haven't tasted it yet-but I'm wondering if there will be any difference between it and the original.
I've never grown any purple basil before...I wouldn't mind it...in fact, I've planted nasturtiums this year for the sole purpose of adding them to salads. I think they will look beautiful on a plate of mixed lettuces, with multicolored cherry tomatoes!
