Buy a plant for $3.00. Put it in planter. Free basil forever. But yeah, that's a good (but generally normal) price if you're buying at a Farmer's Market instead of from the grocery store. It's stupid expensive from grocery stores.

Yeah got it from an asian market. Do you guys notice a big taste difference between the thai and regular? The thai seems a lot stronger to me.

down here it's an annual unfortunately (or so I've read). I'm new to the herb garden, but I started mine a few months back. I have both thai and regular basil. Honestly I never use the thai one. I cook asian dishes a decent bit too, but I like the basic basil better.
as for price differences, I would think they should be the same. and yes, supermarket prices are outrageous. Where did you get a pound for that price? That's a good deal

This. My SO has some sweet basil, thai basil, and greek basil. I can't wait to use some in some dishes.

Buy a pack of seeds for .79 cents and plant in a pot, super easy and productive
One pack has plenty enough seeds for at least 5 pots
