I love the way that the tiniest seedlings already smell as strongly as anything of the plant that they will actually become. Take these little baby Basil plants for example, every time that I brush past them they smell so sweetly of basily goodness that my mouth waters to think of the pesto that I will be able to make in a matter of weeks. Gorgeous!

Herbs, I like herbs to use for my health. And they are Gods gift to man to help the body be healthy.

Yes I agree Ben, the smell of tomato and basil seedlings have got to be two of my favourite smells in the world. Really fantastic.

I grow seedlings as a business and have been doing it for 3 years now. The thing I love about them is that they are easy to take care of and they are not a burden to me.

I know. Quite something aren't they! I've got some delicious smelling sage seedlings as well.

Can't beat both basil and tomato seedlings for smell.

I grow them alongside French marigolds in the greenhouse to ward off the whitefly. Great smell.
