Rivka, when you harvest your basil this way, how far down the stem do you
go? We started harvesting basil as a cut-and-come-again earlier this
year. At first my customers were very happy to see basil so early, but
then about a week after harvesting the plants I'd go back and they'd be
dead or dying. At first I though it was something unrelated but
several weeks of that and genius girl here figured out that the plants
just never recovered from that initial harvest. I wonder now if I was
harvesting too early in the plant's life, too far down the plant, and/or if it
was just too cold out (this is the PNW after all) for them to recover before
succumbing to stress and disease. I'd rather remember this year as
the year I learned how to harvest basil sustainably, rather than killing a bunch
of it in vain. :(
