Herbs (Basil)

I can grow basil year round and it grows like a weed. I harvest my own seeds. They fly everywhere and tend to grow wherever they landed, so I find myself pulling them out from other pots and replanting them.

When they mature they will flower and produce seed pods.

I let these seed pods dry before I pull them off. I put them in a light colored bowl so I can see the seeds and let them dry a little more. Then I literally rub a handful of pods in my hands and the little black seeds fall out. I separate the seeds and store them for future planting.

I picked these Basil plants from other pots and replanted them. I simply press my fingers in the dirt and pinch them out and push them in a new pot. They are not delicate.
