That’s what I was afraid of - they’d become flowers. I slid about 10 off each stalk - they were stacking like crazy.
There are some new, broad green leaves at the bottom (near the bottom) of one - but they don’t look like Basil leaves (well, sorta, on a package of living basil I bought at Sprout’s grocery store).
Haven’t smelled them yet to see what they’re like.
I trim mine really short before I bring it in. Cooler weather and shorter days are often a signal to annuals to make seeds for the next year’s survival.
When I grow plants indoors, I always turn on a grow light after dark to simulate the longer days of summer. It’s only important for some plants, but I just do it for all and that way I don’t have to remember which is which.
I really should have cleared a space for my lemon tree and brought it in today. It’s down to 49 degrees @ dawn and cooler days, not good for the tomatoes either.
