What fantastic advice and insights you always offer! I so appreciate it …and particularly this one, since basil is my favorite herb to grow.
Thank you! 🙏

Thank you for this little gem of information…Good info, I will no longer pull the leaves off my Basil plant and will be able to keep my Basil around longer.

Thank you, I was a leaf-puller, but not anymore!

Thank you! I had no idea you cut the stem. I have always just been removing the leaves.

I live in the Southwest desert. Can I grow basil outside? Think 110 in July and August, or is this a cool weather plant:

Hi, Can basil be frozen? Or should it be dried instead.

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I needed to know all of that!! I want to get started with basil, AGAIN! Keep it inside, under lights?, or outside?
