Oh, love this. Good info and explains why the one basil plant I grew died an unnecessary death. Now armed with this knowledge, we can aim for success. Thank you! 💖
Thanks! I've got healthy Basil, & it reseeds itself well, but I've been harvesting it all wrong! That's why i get such tall, leggy plants. 😄 South Florida is getting our coldest nights yet this winter this weekend. You probably laugh at 39 as really cold- but my plants aren't used to that! I run strings of mini lights on the ground in the mulch with sheets over the tropical plants i can't bring in. A couple hundred can take care of a clumped group of several small citrus bushes & a dozen or so smaller pots clustered around them.
Thank you so much for this garden quicky! 👏🌱I have a single basil plant that is growing and actually got its first top the other day and I looked at it and I knew I was gonna have to do it ✂️then I saw your video 😣thanks again, and stay safe in this crazy weather 💪💓🌪🌬⛈
Pesto everything Nancy.....pesto everything. LOL! Also, when I make sundried tomatoes, I seal them up in the freezer with a bunch of Basil leaves.....really makes the flavor pop!
What was the fertilizer you used? How do you make it? Do use after each time you take leaves off? New to all of this and trying to learn : ) thanks Mary W

Cheers Sandy, let's make the next one the best Basil plant ever! 🙂
Mine did too, saw this too late. :(
Never too many garden quickies!
Ha ha never too many! :-)
Wow , I've been cutting my basil all wrong . Thank you I'm going to start more and follow your cutting techniques .
It really does help them to bush out Carmella.....within a single cut the plant doubles in size in a couple of weeks!

So jealous that yours reseeds itself Patricia! 39 is cold for Basil though! Ha ha! Have a great weekend. 🙂
Thanks Jeff!
Cheers Patricia!
Learn something new every time. Thanks Jeff
Cheers Jo! :-)

Ha ha scary with one single stem at first.....but then they double, and then double again......such a lovely plant! 🙂
Love your channel Jeff - thanks for all the great info!!!
Hey thanks so much...appreciate it!!
Thanks Jeff, that was awesome. I’ve got 4 basil plants growing that I haven’t yet harvested from cause I didn’t know what to do. Now I know!
FOUR plants? Epic! So much bounty coming your way!!
Love this!!
Thanks Victoria! 🙂
Super
Thanks!!
Love the herb videos !
Thanks for that mate. that's awesome
Cheers Tim, thanks for watching!
Love your garden quickies, but what do you do with all of that basil. Wish i could get my cilantro to grow.
Pesto and basil infused olive olive are good options! Both pretty easily made in a food processor and blender respectivity.
Pesto everything Nancy.....pesto everything. LOL! Also, when I make sundried tomatoes, I seal them up in the freezer with a bunch of Basil leaves.....really makes the flavor pop!
@@rickytorres9089 Yessssssss! 🙂
thank you so much
Good info!
Thanks! :-)

Do you have info on harvesting basil and storing it?
Thanks Mary
Hi, most definitely it should be tiger eaten fresh, or made into a sauce like pesto then frozen....
Thank you!
@@meremadswyant8835 no problem!
I grow my basil by vertical gardening with pop bottles. My south window is always full of herbs. Just need to learn fertilizer better
