Basil used to be a no-no for me in the garden.

This year? I'm finding sprouts of the damn stuff in my seedling boxes. What the eff?

(Backstory: last year, I bought a seedling clump from an organic grower at the markets, planted it in the ground, got basil, collected the seeds. Come spring this year, I just tossed seeds anywhere in the garden that looked like it was going to get a bit of sun. Then I bought a 'cut and come again' pot from the Big Chain Supermarkets around here, and planted it out in the garden. It is also doing amazingly well this year, with quite a bit of neglect - it needed some watering and shading back in mid-to-late spring, but it's still going great guns. So much so that I am overloaded with basil and really need to make some pesto and freeze the damn stuff.)
