Yeah, I’m going to try growing some basil over the winter - I start veggie seedlings with grow lights, so I’m trying to keep some basil and salad greens going in the basement. I also chiffonaded (It’s a word NOW!!) a few quarts of fresh leaves and froze them in ice cube trays with olive oil. Hopefully this will soothe the savage basil beast come the end of winter. :)
My basil has made it through the winter here in East Tennessee, by a window. When it is near freezing! I roll down the shade and they did ok.
