How to Harvest Basil to Create Bushy Plants & Increase Yields

Come see how we continually harvest and prune our basil plants in the middle of summer, to create extra bushy growth and increased yields. Don't cut down your whole basil plant! I took this impromptu video for Instagram, hence the portrait orientation. For more details on "How to Grow Basil", see our blogpost all about it!
