Lamiaceae & Verbenaceae Week: Lamiaceae, Basilikum (Ocimum basilicum) from Ritterhude

[Na Bha]

Basilikum grows only in a pot in my house. Very difficult to grow. Only
in summer, I can buy some plants, but they don't survive very long. This
time I put some seeds, I had brought from Apulien, in a pot. So far the
plant is alive, but don't know if they survive this winter.
Leaves used with tomatos in salad. But snails like the leaves too,
unfortunately.
