I just got home from a 6 week overseas holiday, to find my Basil plantation has made alot of flowers in my absence. My housesitter didnt trim it at all. Theres only so much you can expect from a housesitter, giving my huge garden full time attentive care obviously doesnt fall into that category. The leaves have a biter taste, not suitable for fresh eating.
Does anyone have any ideas what to do with huge bunches of floral basil? Can it be used to add aroma to canned tomatoes? Or even in potpouri? Im growing Purple, Thai, Cinnamon, Lemon, and Sweet basil. Just thought Id ask before pulling it out and composting the whole lot.
The rest of my garden is in need of some urgent repair work too, as you can see in this picture!
Any Ideas on the Basil greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Lena
