Last month, I planted some basil seeds in a container. It sprouted in two days. Now, I have lots of little basil plants on their way to becoming LOTS of basil. I love basil for cooking, so I have no doubt I'll have plenty of excuses to use it. The question is, what to do when I need to harvest it, but can't use it right away. It's a bad idea to let Basil flower and go to seed, as it diminishes the flavor.
Here are some links to interesting ideas for preserving extra basil:
Freeze it.
Dry it.
Make Pesto.
