Default Agreed with the basils.

I have three fruit trees coming, 1 currant, 4 blackberries, 2 basil hybrids, Cuban Oregano and some potato tubers.
The fruit trees are a Weeping Santa Rosa plum. a Satsuma plum, and Nadia a natural hybrid of a Japanese plum and a sweet cherry.
I don't think you can buy seed of Cuban Oregano? It's not really an oregano, but a plant that can be used like oregano. I want it for my Tex-Mex dishes. Coleus amboinicus var.
I bought the variegated type. taste is same as non-variegated. I will start new plants in the fall and overwinter indoors. The Basil hybrids are
GREEK COLUMNAR BASIL and AFRICAN BLUE BASIL

I have Green Basil,G Columnar ,African Blue,Holy Basils that do not die.Plus they are easy to clone/propagate.The Green Basil I have in the yard as a hedge at 4-5 foot and is a great bee/butterfly attractant.Camphor Basil is also a great nibbbling/aromatic type.Of course we have no real winter per say here.
