Japanese translation filter: so I have two seed packets. Which is mint and which is basil?

I decided it was finally time to plant the cute little herb garden (planted in a miniature casserole dish!) I was given for Christmas. Everything is simple and straightforward, except where the directions tell me to pick which seeds I want to plant. As you can tell from the picture, that's easier said than done:

Which is the basil?

Hope me mefis! I want baaaaaasil!

As a secondary assurance, basil seeds taste vaguely like basil. Steeping a couple in a teaspoon of hot water would tell.
