Older basil leaves get tough and the flavor changes a lot. I've used up and pesto'd the good stuff. Now I've got lots of basil that's over the hill but still green. Is there a way to use this or should I compost it?
My old basil tends to not taste so good, so I simply feed it to my rabbits.
It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com
Yeah, my basil is flowering now, and there are many kinds of pollinators working it.
Let the pollinators turn it into a self seeding annual.
Wonderful to watch...even better for next spring.
