I cut the stems with leaves from the basil branch and plant it directly into the soil. It grows just as easily!

You are exactly right. Herbs like basil and mint can grow so easily that you don't ever have to buy them from the stores.

good day mam, really appreciate your channel and your knowledge I just want to know couple of things, if you can spare some time to answer me, 1. can i put stalks directly into organic compost? 2. basil plant needs sun or shade 3. my mint plant is having very small and tiny leaves and stems, if you can give some suggestions?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Do not put stalks directly in organic compost. You can put it in coco peat and perlite mixture.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Basil plants like partil sun. So give them just morning sun or grow them under a tree where they do not get harsh afternoon sun

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Is your mint getting direct sun? Mint likes a lot of water and a lot of sun

[@Nasl-e-Adam]

thank you for your valuable and quick response, will try to do same as you suggested

[@playthetragicx]

I love your channel! Thank you so much for your videos! I do however have a question, Can you do the same with Roses?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Thanks for the encouraging words, appreciate it. No, you can't do this with roses. For roses, it is best to plant the cuttings directly in the soil with some rooting hormone. But the best option for roses is grafting or air layering. We have just air layered a few trees, will post the video soon.

Any special methods to preserve basil (stalks too) for best flavor over a long storage time?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Basil doesn't keep the flavor as much when dried

[@MartyFRsfNE]

@@EasyPeasyGardening What about stored in olive oil or frozen? Pesto seems to keep quite well frozen (albeit fresh is better). Can you recommend any easy recipes with basil from your culture’s amazing traditional cuisine?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

@@MartyFRsfNE the only two ways I know are the ones you listed. Freeze or dry

[@myredeemerlivesamen991]

Are Tukmaria seeds the same as the seeds needed for planting basil plants?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Not sure what tukmaria seeds are.

[@myredeemerlivesamen991]

@@EasyPeasyGardening the sweet basil seeds that are black. The ones the we put into fruit juices and falooda. They swell up forming a white jelly around them

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

@@myredeemerlivesamen991 oh I don't know if they can grow. You can try sowing some.
