@joesgarden: Today we are back and I am showing you a little trick I like to use to harvest basil, so it keeps giving me more and more. Basil is one of my all time favourite herbs to grow and use in the kitchen, and it is super easy for beginners too! You can harvest basil by picking the leaves, and there is nothing wrong with doing this, but it will weaken the plant. However, there is another way to harvest your basil, while also making the plant stronger. All the way along the stem of the basil you will find little side shoots. If you take a cutting from here, it will allow the plant to keep growing these side shoots. Eventually what will happen is your little basil plant will form a basil bush. Once this happens you can happily take as many leaves as you like as the plant will be more established. If you fancy growing basil at home please check out the garden with Joe link in my bio. This month in June we are sending out everything you need to grow basil, carrots and cucumbers at home from seed to harvest. All you need to do is add water! The response to our monthly boxes has been truly amazing, so thank you all so much! 😊🌱 #organic #garden #gardening #growyourownfood #plantbased #sustainable #DIY #zerowaste #gardentips #basil
