So glad it’s helpful! Basil can be tough, sometimes we have a great harvest and other times not so much. I think it really needs a good balance of sun, shade and plenty of water if it’s really hot. And definitely regular trimming, even if you don’t need to use the leaves, cut it anyway to keep it growing back and prevent it from flowering.

I never know when and how much to harvest herbs. This summer I’m growing basil, rosemary, thyme, mint, and chives. I have a hard time getting the less hardy herbs like basil and chives to grow, but the basil plant is actually looking good for once!
