I was thinking as I mowed, I should pick those leaves and put them in the slow oven to dry. Wouldn't fresh, homemade basil smell good!
Then we had company and a couple of nights of frost.
When I mowed the lawn today, I saw that my organic food alarm did not go off and warn me the plant was suffering, and now it is dead.
So a gardening lesson: Vinca and Snapdraggons tolerate frost. Basil doesn't.
