I just need my basil to get growing a little faster. I love pesto on gnocchi, especially pumpkin ones.

As soon as the basil begins to flower cut off the flower immediately. And remember, it loves full sunlight!

Thanks. Mine has suffered through the wet, cold winter but now that we have sunshine it has lovely new leaves coming. I seem to have to pull the flowers out quite a lot during the growing season, but I guess that is normal.
