I Know This Plant!

So are you impressed that I know the name of a plant? Everyone knows what this is of course - it is Basil, growing in the garden. I love how the leaves are shiny, which is part of the beauty of Basil. But my favorite part of Basil is how aromatic it is. The garden is right next to the car, and sometimes I smell the Basil just getting into the car. Sometimes I brush up against it, and I nearly swoon with the scent. And of course adding fresh Basil to things like pasta, or making Pesto is more like sensory overload!
