@THERUSTEDGARDEN
Thanks for the great info š
I need to pinch farther back!
Itās June 26 here in southern Colorado, Zone 5A-6Bā¦. The temperatures here have been abnormally high for this time of year. We are in the high 90s and with this extremely arid climate my basil is struggling. I found if I shade them 80% of the day and water them moderately 3 times a day and fertilize once every two weeks, they are thrivingā¦ My Basil tries to flower even though the plants are not producing lots of leaves. Should I leave the flowers on?
Thank you for your video Gary.
Love from Colorado..ššļø šŖ“
My basil gets Downy Mildew by the mid to late summer, every year. Iāve even planted the Eleanora basil which is supposed to be resistant to it, and it still got it. Do you have any recommendations with how to stop basil from becoming afflicted?
Great advice!
THANX! I've been doin flower cut 1/2 right LOLš. I DO like 2 LEAVE a few PRETTY varieties to BLOOM, bc it brings BEES. Great idea for the vinegar & shade cloth š. My bunny LUVSSSS BASILš°šæ.
I always wait too long to plant my basil and slack on succession sowing and here I am getting schooled again I thought when the flower was at the stage it changed the whole flavor of the plantšš»šš maybe itās ok at the budding stage?
Thanks for the videoā Iāll make sure to shade my basil as appropriate. Question: Do you have experience growing Everleaf type basil? It says it holds off flower production 12 weeks longer than other types. Would it still be helpful to prune to increase branching, so to speak? Also, does basil propagate from cuttings easily? How does it compare to starting from seed in terms of length of time until harvest?
I was just saying I keep topping the flowers and every week they are back. Now I know why lol
My lemon basil makes such a good tea with my lemon thyme. It definitely doesnāt produce as many leaves and wants to flower but itās worth it.
I had so much volunteer basil last year that I didnāt plant any this spring, thinking Iād have a ton more volunteers, but I got 3 lemon and a couple regular plants.
Great video! I have not used basil cuttings to make basil vinegar but have steeped basil in olive oil to make basil olive oil. I also make pesto out of the excess basil cuttings and freeze in small canning jars. I add a little olive oil on top of the pesto to preserve color. It keeps in the freezer for at least 6 months.
Thank you Gary for a very informative video!!!
Great advice thank you
Gary thanks very much for your ideas.ā¤ļø
Great video as usual Mr. Pilarchik, but I want to learn from your failures please.
Some great tips there Gary! I bought a small basil plant on discount from a UK supermarket about 6 years ago i think. I have been propagating them since then.
I put them in water for 2 weeks and then put them in 2 pint plastic milk bottles to establish and then transfer to our 25cm pot indoors. I have several in one pot and give away a lot. The leaves i remove when propagating, i dry off and take fresh from the big pot.
I am just removing the garlic that we just inter planted with the tomatoes.
I did save some spares for someone but as it has been some weeks now, i might plant them in the place of garlic so i can re start the process of propagating.
I also tend to slow down propagating during winter months as they grow more slowly. If leave it too long the stems will get too big and harden off brown, so i try to keep on top of removing any leggy green stems.
Anyway, Take care!
