Here in Greece, and probably other Mediterranean countries, non-culinary basil is grown in pots and presented as a gift. The leaves are much smaller than the basil you would use in cooking. People tend to place the pots by their doors or on window ledges and then just rub their hands through the plants as they go by. It releases a lovely scent. It's also meant to keep mosquitos away, but I'm not convinced it works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165924940988488163noreply@blogger.com
