Basils not faulty now
Basils not faulty nowI have grown basil on and of for a while and was always disapointed with it growing just straight up tall and spindly, just 1 stalk and leaves.Icant remember who it was that put something on about pinching the top two leaves out to encourage better growth. Any way i thought i would give it a go and did it several times on some and i have now got a pot full of lovely bushy basil.So thankyou for the suggestion it was aq great sucsess Lindaxx
And then there was one, Again!!!!

Re: Basils not faulty nowWasn't me but I like to grow Basil too ( so why didnt I this year) , I love the scent when you brush or pinch the leaves - if you grow tomatoes then Basil is an excellent companion in the greenhouse
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .

Re: Basils not faulty nowI'm glad you're having success with basil now - love your thread title! Our basil is decidedly slow this year, despite pinching out.

Re: Basils not faulty nowThanks for the tip, my basil always turned out the same as yours Linda so will give this a go
