Basil is my main filler here at my flower farm. I love the way it smells and looks in a bouquet! Basil is incrediably easy to work with, but I find many deal with the issue of wiling and are unable to use it.
Basil is the biggest drama queen of the fillers. She must be harvest in the morning before or right after sunrise, otherwise she will wilt. Once she wilts, she'll take 24 hours normally to revive and decide to finally be her fabulous self.
So in this video We'll harvest during the morning, during the hot afternoon, and the evening to see which is the best time to harvest for your flower farm.
