Here's what I plucked from one (1) of my basil plants today. It's been producing like mad, and just started flowering the other day, so according to my sources that's when it is good to eat. This is one of many enormous leaves that are literally the size of my fist. They are beautiful and amazing, and soon I will eat them. But for now, they are in my freezer, because I am not cooking at 11 pm. Just gardening.
cut the flowers off! that's when it stops growing
