Hi I'm new to this board and have been reading it everyday since I found it. I love gardening. But I have a question maybe someone could help me with. This is my second year growing Basil and the ends always seem to droop and dry out on the ends does any no what I'm doing wrong. Thank you so much. Confused

I would say cut it and use it before it gets to that point. Otherwise, more water? Dooley

I would say Basil ends dry out when overwatered also. It is a sign the roots are waterlogged.

I want to know what loves to eat this besides me? I am thinking it may be slugs, but am not sure. Right after I plant my starts they are full of little holes!
