    You’re still here! You stopped showing up on my home page, I thought you stopped making videos. Anyway, YES! Thank you for the basil flower info. I’ve been cutting them off and leaving them to feed the dirt. Really good to see you again, I’ll search if you don’t show up again. Your channel is good stuff.

    May not have the nutrition your drink does, but I love my basil flowers dipped in a batter and deep fried to serve as a side dish. Tasty!

    OMG where has this blender been all my juicing life?! I am going to do this tomorrow as my basil is ginormous and has long strands of flowers and seeds that I would have just sadly have chucked in compost pile. Thankyou for this great video!!

    I just happened to have some Thai basil and watermelon in the garden and followed right along. Great taste and very refreshing. The watermelon masked the black licorice flavor of the basil, which I don't really care for. Thanks, man!

    I’ve been leaving them on the plants so that I can get the seeds. I’ll try this out too

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm new to in home urban gardening. I bought a purple basil plant yesterday and it has flowers. I wasn't sure if these were leaves about to bloom or a sign of something else. Now I understand the flowers may halt additional leaf growth. The various comments on what people are doing with the flowers is greatly appreciated. ❤

    Have you done a video on Perilla leaves/ Shiso leaves yet? They are extremely nutrient dense and easier to grow than basil and have large purple leaves that taste mildly minty and they are invasive like mint.To me they are a more healthful lettuce alternative and can be marinated and used to roll around food like Grape Leaves or eaten fresh. Asians use them in a variety of dishes.

    I've watched your videos for YEARS. What you said at the end of the video about making unique content, I completely agree with.
    I can't think of any other youtube channel that covers what you cover.
    If you want to learn, your channel is where it's at.

    I've always found dried basil flowers hold their smell and flavor much longer than the leaves. I usually dry both.

    I love holy basil. Came across 1 a local grow story was throwing away last year and was able to save seeds and is now my favorite for smell and taste. Glad it it was already flowering when I got it.

    • @koalamama2
      @koalamama2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Me too! My favourite herb ever. The tea is so powerful it can even be used as a hand sanitizer. Lowers cortisol, anti-everything, tastes amazing, protected by holy goddess. Can't go wrong.

  • @WildOrchardOasisFarm
    @WildOrchardOasisFarm 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Very timely as I was debating what to do with my basil this morning. I have lots of purple basil flowers which are so pretty but I think they need pruning.

  • @shirleyk623
    @shirleyk623 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I dehydrate all my basils for cooking with later. I understand why spices can be pricey. A lot of fresh leaves can dehydrate into very little dried spices. But at least they don't get wasted.

    @Learn Organic Gardening at Growing YourGreens should look into growing African Blue Basil, because it is the few perennial basil plant that exist. This plant attracts a lot of bees which will help with better pollination.

    I’m a real beginner with all this, I’m wondering how do you determine which leaves to use and which leaves to throw out? I noticed that some of the leaves have a little brown spot - they are not perfect leaves.

    • @sgibau
      @sgibau 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is the stump still in the ground and sticking up above the soil line? If so, it will "probably" come back. Seal the cut end (with either wax or IV Organic Plant Guard) to prevent the stump from drying out and insect damage. Root the rest of the tree that was cut off. I've had cuttings (thick & thin) root in water and dirt with zero problems either way. Mulberry is a very hardy tree.

      He is on a blender vacuum kick the last couple of years.. sold tons of blenders without such a feature before - but now - he believes the oxidation during juicing is not good and the juice you get under vacuum is "better". Maybe he is right.. but I'm not spending another $500 to get rid of my Vitamix... so whatever..
