Stop Harvesting Your Basil Like This

I am a 92 year old Japanese man and your plant show is my favorite from the west! Big fan from Japan keep it up

This advice is actually very smart! I’ve been doing it “the wrong way” and am going to mend my ways now! Thank you, Richard!

If you put the cuttings in water in a clear glass or plastic container and then put the container on a sunny windowsill, the cuttings will grow roots. Each rooted cutting could then be planted, giving you more basil plants throughout your growing season.

If there is enough root mass and the stems are healthy, along with there being some soil space with proper nutrients, the basil plant can indeed come back in full with leaves and even flower if you've done a complete harvest. (Taking all leaves from stem.) I can prove this as well if need be. Plants want to survive, so given proper conditions, these amazing beings will surely surprise you. Awesome video. Otherwise, everything is spot on brother.

I did that last year and with the pieces I cutted, and put in water to propagate. Basil took over my apartment and I could barely get inside my apartment 😅 I ran out of ideas where to put it when cooking, I started putting basil in everything even tea, I even froze some and gave some to my neighbors. I hope my neighbors are doing alright

I'd like to see a video of taking care of our garden equipment: clean non rusty scissors, sanitizing those plastic containers plants come in so you can re use them, cleaning minerals and algae and fungi/mold from things like Terra Cotta and watering cans, when hand soap or vinegar is fine and when you should use something stronger like a bleach or isopropyl alcohol solution, etc. I greatly enjoy your videos and have referred back to your channel quite a few times (I have a feeling this will be another such vid), so a Sheffield special on such subjects would be delightful! 🤩 Thanks for your help, keep up the good work! 👍

I've been growing basil in my home for a year. It's 10 times the size of yours. It's fantastic

Thankyou for helping me with my basil , this was a big help.

my daughter just plucked off leaves last evening for some pasta, ive told her to trim the top instead many times. i will tell her again asap. knowledge is key here... Thanks, i will remind her!

I am loving these herb care tips. Are you going to discuss other herbs in the future?

I have basil thriving in my garden and I appreciate the tips. It’s my first time growing it. I lopped the head off a jade per your video on that, and it’s already growing a new leaf. Thanks!

Thank you. I've had basil for a while now and ive been wondering how to help it improve

Very much appreciate your channel from Canada 🇨🇦

Hi Mr. Sheffield! I'm from Malaysia and I just wanted to say you've successfully turned me into a crazy plant lady in my 20s. 🤣 I used to (accidentally) kill almost every one of my plants, but safe to say your vids educated me enough to spare my babies and now they're flourishing! Seriously thanks a bunch. Keep making them vids and I'll keep binging them as I try not to overwater my plants 🤣

You're good people <3

If the basil plant is getting tall take a harvest and freeze on a tray in the freezer, then bag up when frozen so you can have basil in the winter months too.

Thank You for your share. Basil is one of my very favorites. I appreciate your advice😊

Tq for the useful information

Thank you Mister Sheffers : )

Don't forget to pinch off the flowers when the plant starts to mature!
