| This plant is growing with the 3 types of basil I planted (mammoth, siam queen, genovese), but I don't know what it is. The leaves are thicker and smoother than basil, but they do have a strong fragrance. Does anyone know what is is?

| Yup. Purslane it is, though I've never found them to smell strongly. I grow "golden purslane" (Portulaca oleracea sativa) as a salad green. It has larger leaves and an upright nature unlike the wild purslane. FataMorgana |
