My basil plant has been growing out of control, so I knew I needed to come up with a few recipes to use it in.  Seriously, if you don’t grow your own herbs, you should!  It will save you tons of money and they grow well indoors too!

  1. This may be a stupid question, but how do you harvest basil leaves without killing the plant? Do you just pull leaves off or do you lop off a piece from the top? I had a purple basil plant one year, and I just could not keep it going. I bought two sweet basil plants this year and am hoping I do better with those. . .
    1. I just pluck the leaves off mine. It's done great. If you get flowers, you need to pluck them off or the basil will die.
      1. Thanks so much Melissa! I had flowers on my purple one so that explains it going kaput. Cross your fingers for me!
