I will separate The Basil later when they get alittle bigger, I don't have a problem separating. I once saw an old man at a greeenhouse separating small tomato
seedlings and I just stood and watched, proable with my mouth hangin open
He had crippled up hands and was not gentle at all with the little
seedlings, But I learned how to do it by watching him. The Bush Basil will be placed in pots in clumps and remain in pots all summer, I don't do anything with the bush basil, it is for my own pleasure...Aroma therapy, I love running my hands through it as I walk by it, the smell is so soothing. I have a couple of friends hooked on the scent of it also and will pot some for them.
