If you are growing into a colder season right now as even I am now,

now, finally temperatures are under 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thank goodness.

You still want some summer stuff, right? So

Basil, how do you keep Basil going throughout the fall winter? Is it possible? It

certainly is, but you have to know what happens to Basil in the winter. The temperatures will drop.

Anything below 45 degrees is your danger zone for if Basil will actually make it or not. If you have a plant that you

really really loved and it's not a hybrid then you can save the seeds so you can

let it go to flower and actually save the seeds and store those seeds the

way that you would store seeds cool dry location dark location and plant them

out next year the other thing that you can do is just bring them indoors.

Bring Basil indoors.

It's probably going to be your best way.

Now if you have a massive basil plant like I have, that's a little bit unwieldy to bring

indoors.

So what I've done, I have some Greek

columnar basal that is a hybrid I believe, I'm not sure. So I can't save the

seeds because it won't come true to type. So what I did, instead of deciding to move it indoors, which technically I don't have to do,

but just for this thought experiment, I made cuttings. So I took about eight cuttings of it, popped it in my

easy clone air propagator, and we're good to go.

I mean, I've got now eight of them rooted up pretty soon, and I can pop those either in pots indoors,

grow them indoors for the winter, or I can move them around in different areas of my yard.
