@WormWarriorFarm you know if I remember right robs pretty experienced with herbs. I’d probably ask him, I’m sure he can get you great advice

Thank you Rachel, I hope you are doing well. @Basilic
Salsabile, your Basil looks great! Sometimes central stalks will turn a purple-ish color before flowering. Don't be surprised to see white, pink or purple flowers emerge. 😊
You probably already know this but don't be afraid to pick from it often. Snip right above two leaves down each stalk up to 1/3 of the way down to keep it healthy and bushy. I grow sweet basil all the time and I love the smell it puts out. Aside from the ones in the greenhouse, I keep one in the kitchen... I go by and cup my hands at the base of the plant and rake upward to really get the smells going. I call it hugging my basil. Lol Amazing herbs.

@WormWarriorFarm Great advice, I’m doing well thank you, and I hope the same for you and all your happy plants. I’ll have to make a post on basil so I don’t feel bad talking on someone else’s. 🤭
