My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Chocolate Basil

21 years ago

My wife and I saw some chocolate basil at the Missouri Botanical Gardens this summer. It really has the delicious fragrance of chocolate. I made inquiries to the master gardeners there, but no one could tell me how to get the seeds. I've searched five seed catalogs and tried local stores in the St. Louis area. I even called three local herb societies--no help. Does anyone know where I can buy chocolate basil seeds?
