Ah yes, basil got me into the whole plants rabbit hole. Love how easy it is to just get started by buying one pot from the super market and then just living off of it without ever needing to buy a new one.
I always let mine flower at the end of the year, and plant the next generation from seed, so I still have the ‘same’ basil plant from a couple of years ago when I started.

I like basil. At some point I i got tired of killing all the plants and started learning how to properly grow and care greens with basil.
It has plenty of uses and it requires the right amount of care, not too simple not too complex.
I’ve grown it from seeds, cuttings, in pots, outside and in hydroponics.

Basil just so rewarding I usually trim and dry like this. I’ve had good flavor for over a year after doing this
