AnnualOcimum basilicum. As the name suggests, Mammoth basil is a robust variety known for its large, ruffled leaves that can grow up to 4 inches long. This basil is prized for its intense, sweet aroma and flavor, making it ideal for pesto, salads, and culinary dishes. Mammoth basil's impressive leaf size and vibrant green color add a striking visual element to gardens and containers. Remove flowers on this variety to promote larger leaf growth.
I planted it twice. It either didn't germinate or died before it got 1/2"tall. I have grown 11 other basils this year and they germinated, and I have healthy plants from them. Disappointed.
Order came quick.
By far my favorite Basil. The green leaves a very large and have a beautiful curly look. We eat them fresh and dehydrated them all summer long.
Lives up to its name. Gorgeous large leaves. Milder flavor compared to the genovese basil. And looks gorgeous in a pot.
These plants are massive! I plant a ton of basil every year and these plants dwarfed all others. I got so many leaves off them that we had a pint of fresh pesto in the fridge at all times and I was able to freeze over 2 gallons of it, that's in addition to what we ate fresh and dried for use over the winter. I'll be planning more of this next year!

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
