I'm getting ready to plant today. I plan to do succession planting so I don't get overwhelmed with too much all at once.
If you keep rooting those basil cuttings before you know it the whole planet will be covered with basil!!
What the heck do you do with ALL that basil??😂
I did not know! 🎉❤
Don't the flowers generate the seeds also? I was letting on plant go to flower for the seeds
Thank you
Hey I just did a video on propagating basil on my channel a couple of weeks ago! YOU BEEN WATCHIN MY CHANNEL?! 🤨
😂. I have regular sweet basil, Thai basil and upcoming cinnamon basil. I hear the flavor isn’t much different when used to cook with but when used as a tea, the flavors are very pronounced. Who knew?!
The dramatic reveal, lol. Basil don't give a crap.
And the way you take the tops off is probably easier. I've been plucking flowers only, and of course, they come back so fast. Silly of me.
I struggled with them one year overwinter. Maybe I'll try a different facing window this year.
That's amazing. Sometimes we learn most by our own procrastination. 😂
I grew so many basil plants last year I dried it and put it in jars for Christmas gifts.
So now even my favorite planting and gardening channels use genAI on their content, how nice. This one hurt, but bye!
Starting from seed is one of the hrder ones
You're right. Basil don't care. LOL. I have had good success with just popping the cuttings right into a pot of soil, keeping it watered and leaving it in a space with dappled shade so it doesn't get scorched by the heat of full sun. Doesn't take long until the Basil babies take root. 🙂
Basil is my easiest grow. I always keep my seeds (I let them go to seed), and I always have fresh growing.. 🌿
you couldn't find a real picture of a large basil bush? you had to ai generate one? embarrassing
How did i miss to NOT put it in the refrigerator? That's why it never worked for me! D'oh 🤦♀️ It always got dark spots 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thanks for sharing awesome video ❤
I got a basil plant for $3 last year, it was kind of old this year so I let it go to seed and threw them in another pot, the leaves are enormous, I just picked a bunch and put it in some lasagna.
I love basil and the smell is absolutely amazing. You can never have too much basil!🌿
I tried a new variety this year, lime basil. .
I love the smell of basil. I always seem to kill mine. Suggestions? If i covered them or moved to a greenhouse type enclosure would they lady over the winter? I'm zone 8 SC
Great video.
The weather is so cruddy here in the uk that im actually struggling to grow basil little seedlings for 8 wks now its crazy i expected massive growth but reality not much at all .
Dude, I was in a dorm in Washington DC during college and wanted to make some halfway decent food in a rice cooker since our cafeteria had rats running over our feet and maggots were in the milk drains. I got basil from Whole Foods and put the stems into a jar of water in my window and I found roots in a few days. 😂
I can’t keep basil alive at all 😢😢😢
Make a lot of pesto!🎉
❤❤❤
Great video! I just have one question. What do you do with all that basil lol
the aroma of basil when the breeze is gently blowing is amazing!
My basil doesnt grow and stayed little, what am I doing wrong ?
