the plant that just keeps giving

and looks real pretty to boot: Stevia! Have just cut another bunch to dry and crumble into powder.
My two Basil have been sporting huge healthy leaves for a while yet I haven't found much use for it in the kitchen yet. So I cut the two plants back halfway; to hang and dry this lovely bunch, and encourage the plants to branch out more. Their scent is so strong and heady I'd almost call it a stink instead of a scent!
