Growing Basil Plants and How to Use the Basil Leaves

[Jawad321]

There is one disease that is devastating to your basil plants. It is called fusarium wilt of basil and arrived in North American some time in the 1990's. The symptoms are sudden wilting, dropping of the basil leaves and stems with dark streaks. As soon as you notice these symptoms quickly dig up the basil plant, the soil around it and the roots and discard it so not to infect your other basil plants.

This thread is of such  value that it amazes me that  Stefan will even permit
any others.

I now feel mentally and  spiritually complete.

I suggest to make this topic sticky, so no one misses the opportunity to save his basil plants.
