Farmer D: With the basil, there’s a node here where it splits and two new little plants grow. With most herbs, that’s where you want to pick. So for example, right here, between there, right here, between there, right here, between there, right here. Ease away the flowers, it helps the plants bush out rather than get tall and leggy. It's good to do this right before you plant because it’s going to push the energy down more into the roots and then to hang on and grow all these leaves.
