Giant Basil Plants Return To Whole Foods

I loved the huge basil plants Whole Foods had a couple of years ago, with the plant itself standing maybe eight inches high and practically ready to start harvesting from right at sale time. Maybe I've missed them, but I hadn't subsequently seen that big size since then until a couple of days ago. I stopped into the Baseline store just to pick up some milk, and boom, there in the entryway was a ton of them, on sale for $7.99 each (Osage Farm organic). I scooped one up, even though I already have a bunch of small organic basils getting started in their pots. Guess I'd better keep working on the pesto still in the freezer from last year's crop.
