Description : I grow basil inside my window. Now that the growing season is ending and there are flowers at the tips, does anyone know how to save/preserve these buds in order to start a new plant next spring?
Last Answer : Basil is an annual plant, so you need to let it go to seed, which means the seed pods will turn brown, open and scatter the seeds. Best way is after the pods turn brown, make a little sack w/ gauze ... and get the seeds. Sort of a pain, basil seeds aren't too expensive. But the pods must be brown.
