Add colour to your pesto! Choose from purple, cinnamon, or genovese basil for a flavourful mix. Cinnamon basil has a sweet, licorice flavour and lovely light purple flowers; and the purple basil has a flavour more similar to genovese basil, but with dark purple leaves. Basil grows well on your windowsill, and in any fertile, well drained garden. It does like heat though, so make sure to plant it in full sun. (2-3 plants/ pot for 4 inch pots)

Not for the faint of heart! These little fire bombs rank 100,000 to 350,00 SHU’s on the scoville heat scale. Habanero peppers start out lime green, then ripen to fiery orange, then to red. They require lots of heat, and take a little longer to mature than most other peppers at 90-100 days from transplant. Plant in full sun, in well drained, fertile soil. Do not plant with brassicas, beans, or fennel. (3-1/2 in pot)
