It also depends on how you are using it.

I always grow Holy Basil and African Blue to attract beneficial insects. Somewhere I got the idea that the African Blue was not a good culinary herb. I have a friend that owns an herb farm and recently she held a cooking class. She used the African Blue and is was delicious. Because she is getting up in years I go over and help her get ready for events and I always leave with a load of plants and cuttings since I would never let her pay me. Even better than the plants I walk away with so much information.
That sounds like lots of fun, my kind of event.
