Sounds like it's best to keep picking. "Basil is a pick and come again crop. It is best to pick a few leaves off a number of plants than picking all the leaves off one plant. Harvest the top most leaves first. Basil will grow all year round indoors but outdoor plants should be dug up and brought indoors before the first fall frosts if you want to extend the plants growing season into the winter."

Have not had much experience besides yearly batches. We do plan on doing some indoor gardening this year. I really liked the basil when it was young, so I would guess just keep rocking new plants every couple months. Anyone else have an idea? ours has gone insane and the leaves are really small now.

For the first time ever, I planted a bunch of basil in a pot. Got tons. Have made several batches of pesto. Still couldn't keep up. Would like to make more pesto, plus other basil stuff. But now the plants are becoming more mature. Leaves are getting wrinkly. Is mature basil just as good? Is there a way to stimulate new leaf growth? It seemed the the new, young leaves would be better. Any advice? Thanks. I have a question about basil. For the first time ever, I planted a bunch of basil in a pot. Got tons.

I have mowed on a few of them from a plant that makes little ones once they became ripe. Plus if it has garlic and all the other stuff on it you hardly notice.

You have an excellent palate sir! For some reason I recall you not liking tomatoes, but maybe I'm getting my people messed up. Wow that is a nice looking spread there.
