Later it spread almost spontaneously. https://images.hive.blog/DQmWRqWgxPfa989bAvnZr4X9piceRLt8MCMmL3FLH9fWr2n/l%C3%ADnea%20albahaca.png https://images.hive.blog/DQmWRqWgxPfa989bAvnZr4X9piceRLt8MCMmL3FLH9fWr2n/l%C3%ADnea%20albahaca.png Although the Pira grows quickly, without asking for permission and in any place, I do not usually consume this plant if it is not cultivated at home, under the protection of being near a high frequency of automobiles and of not being contaminated by the urine of some animal.
