half dead
Not really very good - half was dead on arrival (although wrapped so not seen until I came to water it).
Excellent quality basil
Very fresh pot of basil that smells and tastes divine! Bought to make peanut pesto to serve with fresh salmon and asparagus. Will definitely purchase again when the pot eventually runs out.
Avoid
They don't last even when re-potted
Good investment for cooks.
Bought 5 weeks ago along with a flatleaf parsley, and even after being regularly harvested - if that's the right word - they're both still going strong. When they arrived as part of our online shop we placed each one into a Charlie Bigham pie dish on the kichen windowsill and have consistently watered them ever since. I had only just started cooking from recipes at the time, so it seemed a bit strange to be buying these. But it's turned out well.
Best tasting Basil
sweet, tasty very glad to buy British, saves on air miles
good value for fresh produce for one person.
Had this about 4 weeks and it's still coping with lack of sun (I don't get much where I am) and draughts. It still adds taste to both cooked meals and salads though wilting a bit now. I'd definitely get another as I live alone and only need a little at a time.
Very surprised at all the poor reviews. I have bee
Very surprised at all the poor reviews. I have been buying basil plants from Tesco for years and each and everyone of them has lasted several months and I don't even bother to re pot them. I keep them on the windowsill near the kitchen sink so maybe I have just struck lucky in finding perfect spot for them!
Plant in excellent condition.
Plant was in excellent condition, leaves healthy, good and green. Would definitely buy again.
