I'm so sad, my lettuce leaf basil have started to go to seed already... I didnt think basil bolted but I guess they do... one less green  |
You can continue to use basil when it bolts but best is to succession plant it. The sweet basil get a little stronger when bolting. The Thai types of basil flower early and taste fine when flowering.
If you have the space,leave the bolting plant. Beneficial insects love basil leaves. If not, make that bolting plant into pesto for the freezer.
