Basil, tarragon, and thyme supplies continue to struggle due to adverse weather conditions in almost all growing areas. Expect limited supplies and rising prices over the next four to six weeks.

Ventura County, California

• Strong winds damaged plants last fall, reducing yields for winter production
• Cold nights and dry conditions have slowed growth
• Forecasts call for increasing temperatures with rain early next week

Imports

• Hawaiian basil is scarce due to extremely high demand
• Mexican stocks in the Baja region are low due to poor quality from recent strong winds; demand is active
