She’s growing!!

My basil plant is thriving outside and flowering! What do I do to make sure she keeps it up?? #SweetBasil

That is so beautiful! 🀩
just whatever you've been doing. Clearly you're doing something right! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It might appreciate a little fertilizer though to keep up those flowers. It depends on when the last time you fertilized it was and if it's susceptible to fertilizer burn
FYI, allowing your basil plant to flower can make the leaves taste bitter, so pinch back any flower buds as soon as you notice them 😊
@stephonicle oh thanks for that info! Didn’t know this! I’ve only been picking it off so that I don’t have a bunch of basil plants seeding in my planters box.
@ComradeCowvine you’re basil plant looks very beautiful! Great job! I haven’t had fresh basil in years so it’s been awesome to have it now that I have a place to put a garden.
Yes pinch back the flowers or will go to seed
