Hello people! Is basil at risk of being eaten by slugs and/or snails if planted outside? I’ve got basil from a garden store and thinking of planting it in the garden. If it’s going to be a meal for them, I’d rather keep it near my kitchen sink. Looking forward to your advice.

I like it just on my kitchen counter and makes it accessible when I need it for my dish.  🙂
