Description: Cinnamon Basil is an attractive heirloom variety that boasts dark green, flavorful leaves that stand on cinnamon colored stems, with very fragrant, cute purple, bronze tinged flowers.  Not only are its stems cinnamon colored, but it also smells a bit like cinnamon too, with a flavor that is kind of spicy and anise like.  This basil is great for making desserts, salads, and teas.  Cinnamon Basil is even beautiful in floral arrangements.  Basil loves warm weather, and this variety is slow to bolt, as long as you pinch off the blooms as they form.  It will produce densely branched plants, if trimmed regularly.  The flowers are delicious in teas, as a garnish, or in salads.  I also like to dehydrate them with my basil leaves, and add it to my dried basil seasoning.  This variety grows about 2-3 ft. tall.

Mint2Grow Tip:  I like to plant my basil between my tomato plants.  It makes a good defense against hornworms, and I've noticed significantly less of them when I do this.  Basil makes for a delicious tea by itself, which is kind of sweet and minty, or add it to a pot with lemongrass and mint for a Caribbean styled "bush tea".  

How To Grow

Sowing:  Since basil loves warm weather, it grows best when the soil has warmed and there is no chance of frost. In cool climates, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, sowing them thinly and providing heat to speed up the germination. Transplant 15-18" apart. To direct sow, plant the seeds 1/4" deep, in rich soil and full sun, thinning to 15-18" apart when the seedlings develop. Basil also grows well indoors or as a container plant.

Growing:  Basil needs well draining soil, yet needs to be watered often. If the weather drops below 50 degrees, provide protection. As the plant grows, pruning it helps it to develop into a bushy, healthy plant; pruning is also important because once the plant flowers, it will begin to wilt and die. To prune the plant, remove the top several sets of leaves on each stem, taking care to leave at least three sets of leaves on the lower part. Try planting basil with tomatoes. It will help deter tomato hornworms by masking the tomato plants’ smell.

Harvesting:  Basil can be harvested as soon as it reaches a height of 6-8". The best time to harvest the leaves are in the morning after the dew dries. After the plant is established, harvesting often actually improves production; once the flowers develop, the leaves grow bitter in taste. Remove single leaves or parts of a stem as needed, taking care to leave at least three sets of leaves on the length of the stem for healthy growth. Fresh basil will keep for several days at room temperature, with the stems in a glass of water; if refrigerated, it tends to wilt and turn brown. Basil also freezes well once chopped and placed in olive oil, and dries well. Dry by using a dehydrator, an oven, or by hanging and drying in a dry, warm location.

Army Medic Emergency Reference
Format: Paperback
Great book for a field medic for emergency conditions. It fits nicely in my aid bag. The only issue I had with the actual book is it was bent on arrival

In paper, excellent, as Kindle book, useless
I've used this book, in early editions, in paper (remember that?), for years. Excellent pocket manual. But as a Kindle book, it's useless, unless you have Superman's microscopic vision.

Great sturdy wood shelf with metal pipes
I'm very happy with this wooden wall shelf. The material is wood, sturdy, easy to put together (did it by myself) and fit alllll the legos! I don't love the wood color but when the legos are on it it looks great. From The side the wood has a nicer finish so even though I thought about staining it I decided not too. I used my own anchors but had a tough time with them being too small. I'm Going to have to go back and fix but that's my fault. The pipes and screws provided are great-just not their anchors. Highly recommend. I might get another shelf from them for my other room.
