Care And Harvesting Tips:

Cut and come again! Basils are fast-growing crops. Frequent harvests can help maintain their healthy growth. Partial harvest from the top and sides of the crop by cutting the stems just above a leaf node (the point on the stem where leaves grow). It’s important not to harvest more than one-third of the leaves at a time to allow the plant to continue growing and producing leaves.

Basil may develop thick roots, lift the net pods up to check the roots every 3 weeks and trim extending roots, leaving just one pinky finger long of roots extended from the base of the net pod.

To delay bolting, snip the flower buds off as when they appear.
