    This was very helpful! I had a feeling I should pinch the top bunch of baby leaves off of my new basil plant. I am a total novice. I finally took some time to find this info so that I can go out and do my basil caretaking, aaaaaand now a wasp is right outside the patio door...

    I sometimes get my basil developing woody stems in response to stress, which is generally considered a bad sign. One thing I discovered though is that basil cuttings root more quickly if the stem is already woody, because that part of the stem is more mature. So if your basil goes woody, you can use this to your advantage during propagation.

    • @bigoljoe1829
      @bigoljoe1829 Год назад +2

      Wow thats interesting! Im gonna try this out. I always avoid trying to root the parts that become woody and only take green stem cuttings, because plants in general root more easily from younger stems

    Scott, thank you for all your great information. Have really enjoyed all your hard work. You just informed me that my potted basil probably needs to move to more sun! Whenever you post your new video I grab a cup of coffee and the puppy and we plop down to watch. Callie loves to watch for your dog photo bombing you, unfortunately not often enough. Doggie needs more screen time! :) Thanks again. Cheers from North Idaho!

    Holy cow: that's a LOT of basil! I direct-sowed my basil this year (dictated by circumstances) and had somewhat meager results. I probably sowed them a few weeks too early, as well. Hopefully I'll have my seed station put back together by next spring.

    Thank you for this information. I started all my herbs from seeds. I did the same with my different types of basil & tomatoes together. Basil and peppers together, I didnt know that I could, nice to know. Greenstalk tower is on my wish list since the first time you did a review on it.
    Have a Blessed Day!!

      Letting the flowers grow and leaving them until the seeds dry is easier in summer. I'm hoping to show saving basil seeds in a future video.

      Another question if you have time. I found a huge yellow Boston pickling cucumber, hidden below the trellis. Should I ferment the seeds as I do with tomatoes?
      Stay Well!!!

      They do best with a few days of fermentation.

    Thanks for the information.
    I had 30 plants all over my garden and they are developing, what looks like a bacterial disease similar to that tomatoes get. I'm in zone 5b, is it too late to save them?
    And what can I do to prevent it next year?
    Grow them in a covered bed?

    • @GardenerScott
      @GardenerScott  Год назад

      Try to identify the specific disease for best action. Depending on what it is, pruning off affected leaves is often enough. If it's in the soil, planting in a different bed next year will be necessary.
