Well, at least it is fullfilling its natural cycle and I am happy at that.

Clip off the flowers or flowers buds before it blooms. That will keep the leaves growing more and bushier. The Vegan Club:

The beach, summer weddings, the beach, summer produce, did I mention the beach? I have a basil plant that’s doing quite well on my balcony but I don’t think it would yield enough to make much pesto. I’m finding it difficult to find cilantro seedlings, but that’s another herb that I would love to have a fresh supply of.

Does not go into blooming??? Mine does after a while and when it does the leaves are just not good anymore. I cannot say a grow a lot, but I grow some and I can just do about 2/3 jam jars of vegan and about twice that amount of non vegan (for the other people of the house). But that's it really!
