Basil is my favorite herb. I dried basil for the first time last summer and decided that it was so much better than commercially dried Basil. I wanted to grow more basil this summer. I wanted a cost effective way.
My local grocery store was selling a pot of table top Basil for $3.99.
I made cutting and rooted them in water. This took 2 weeks.
I will plant these tomorrow. I made 5 cuttings. I then divided what was left in the pot into 4 and planted them. So from a $3.99 pot of basil I have 9 plants. Hopefully the Utah heat and drought doesn't kill them so that I have lots of basil to dry in a couple of months.
