Ok, how the heck do you grow basil?!!!!!! We live in the Pacific Northwest in the United States. I don’t know if you are familiar with our weather patterns up here. We get A LOT of gray days but usually we have beautiful summers! (We have weather very similar to U.K. or New Zealand.)
We have tried and tried to grow basil but have failed every time. 😢

I’m a newbie vegetarian – about 95% vegan, still eat a small amount of oil and dairy, 69 years old, looking to get more energy for working out and improving flexibility and endurance and fighting off arthritis pain and light headedness under strain – such as when trying to pump iron. I wouldn’t mind getting back some of the muscle mass I have lost from being too sedentary, especially during the pandemic. I have been told that smoothies are not the best thing for you because you skip that digestion stage that begins with chewing and releasing enzymes in the mouth. I also found that I would get an energy crash 2 or 3 hours after consuming one because I was getting too much sugar from fruit. What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
