Don’t just pick off the leaves, here’s how to harvest your homegrown basil so that you spur continual bushy growth for months worth of delicious gourmet ingredients!
1-Identify the main central stalk of the plant
2-Find a node, or a junction where two main stems grow outwards from the central stalk
3-Using scissors, clip the main central stalk directly above of the node
4- Water your garden, consider adding a fertilizer after harvesting to provide more nutrients to the stressed plant!
If you harvest with this method you will now have TWO side branches develop from the node and grow their own main stalks! They will then develop more nodes which you can harvest above and create a luxuriously dense and bushy basil plant! Get your own Seedsheet today at:
