With a little help from our friends at the United States Department of Agriculture, we have discovered that we have 2 samples from 2 different types of basil. This throws our little experiment in a different direction. But the kids want to follow through with modifying their procedure and analysis.

Plant C has a sample from both types, and shares a commonality with each of Plant A and B.
Plant A and C1 are both sweet basil and they are both in medium sized containers. C1 has no drainage, while A has drainage. Therefore we can compare the growth, harvest, and flavor between these two samples.

Plant B and C2 are both wild basil, and are both in containers with no drainage. They are in different sized pots, however; therefore, we can compare the growth, harvest, and flavor between life in a small pot versus life in a medium pot.
