Certain things grow better in Africa than any other place. A few obvious ones would be mangos, guava, papaya, passion fruit – tropical fruit in general, in fact. However, when I was living there as a missionary kid, we found that basil, if planted in an African garden and sheltered from chickens, will grow like a weed. Having an abundance of basil enabled us to make pesto (or “green spaghetti” as we liked to call it) often. Someday I want to have a neverending supply of fresh basil to make pesto with.
