If you keep removing leaves, does the plant grow new ones? Or, does it eventually die out like tomato plants. Planted tomatoes over septic tank, they are thriving wonderfully.<br />Good info on the drying process, but how to get decent sized basil?<br />Coriander, red leaf lettuce and mint plants went crazy, couldn't keep up with them, they became giants. But basil? no luck.anthony stemkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666462157746049139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683815501366889084.post-48929059076429672262011-08-18T16:30:07.382-04:002011-08-18T16:30:07.382-04:00Thanks for the tip.

I'm sure not all of it stays fresh so this is a good idea to pass along to her. I bet fresh basil dried is a lot better and healthier than the store bought kind.
