A to Z Blogging Challenge - B is for Basil

B is for Sweet Basil, Ocimum basilicum
Sweet Basil from my garden - I love the purple flowers, too.
In addition to making pesto and seasoning your Italian cooking, the aromatic basil leaves can be tossed in your bath and used in potpourri.  Basil can help ease digestion woes and coughs.
