Hello, folks! Bad Gnome here, your go-to guide for all things green and growing.

Genovese Basil and Purple Dark Opal Basil
We started with some Genovese Basil and Purple Dark Opal Basil. They’re classic, versatile herbs that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
Italian Giant Parsley and Forest Green Parsley
Next, we potted some Italian Giant Parsley and Forest Green Parsley. These vibrant, leafy greens are a staple in any garden, easy to grow and packed full of flavor.
Cilantro, Tulsi Holy Basil, and Thai Basil
And lastly, we added some Cilantro, Tulsi Holy Basil, and Thai Basil to the mix. Each of these herbs brings a unique flavor profile to the table, and they’re all sure to make a splash in any dish.
Each of these aromatic herbs was potted up and placed in our indoor greenhouse with care, ensuring they have the best possible start to life. We’re expecting a bountiful harvest in late July to early August 2023, and we can’t wait to share the results with you.
And that’s what’s growing on at Bad Gnome Gardening! Keep those thumbs green, folks!
Oh and by the way, that is not the Shawn I know. Where’d that photo come from?
Yours truly,
Bad Gnome
