Basil

As it is December, I harvested almost all the Basil (2 cups of leaves from 2 plants). There were 3 stems flowering, and I left the leaves on them, and I think I'll try to harvest the seeds once the flowers have dried. But from the stems I collected, I tried rooting them. I trimmed lengths 2 - 4 inches and took off all the leaves except the top section. But them in water in a sunny windowsill. We'll see how they do.

Tried pesto with the leaves.
