☀️Proud of the basil plant in my garden [ENG/ESP] ☀️
Hello to all, best regards
I go through this beautiful community which gives us the opportunity to show the plants that we care with so much love, affection and dedication whether ornamental plants, fruit trees or aromatic plants like the one I present below today.
I don't have a big space to plant, just a small garden around my house. I like to plant aromatic plants because when there is strong wind my plants shiver and give off that delicious aroma that captivates and captivates everyone.
I don't know why I had no luck growing basil plants, every time I planted the seeds they didn't germinate and it was like that for a long time, until a good friend saw my frustration and gave me a small basil plant she brought from her garden.
I planted the plant in a pot, it grew normally, but when the plant was moderately large suddenly its leaves began to grow dark spots which made my basil plant began to deteriorate. It seemed very strange to me since in other occasions I had planted basil in pots like that, so once it bloomed I took the seeds and spread them in my small garden to start again the germination process and praying to God that when they were born they would not have the same problem as the previous plants that had black spots on their leaves.
After my plants grew I remembered what a great friend who worked with me many years ago in a restaurant told me, my friend Monica Arrieta, she is a lover of the basil plant and makes exquisite sauces with this plant.
She told me the following, that when the plant began to bloom I should remove with my fingers or with a scissors all those flowers that were growing so that in this way the plant would not lose its vitality and would always remain lush and its leaves would keep the good flavor that characterizes it.
Since when the plant blooms and we let the seeds dry on the plant this begins to become scrawny and even loses much of its leaves thus affecting its flavor as the good taste of basil decreases are no longer concentrated and good, but rather is a bit bit bitter.
So I listened to my great friend and the result delighted me, today I have some lush basil plants and with a beautiful green color that enchants the neighbors who visit my house. For this reason I want to show you how beautiful my basil plants are, I want to show you my pride, my basil plants are green and lush.
For some this may not mean anything, but for me it is a great achievement. I have never had such a leafy basil plant and all thanks to the fact that I eliminated the flowers by pruning them every time the flowers appeared.
This plant is an essential ingredient in my preparations, especially I love adding basil to ground meat, it is spectacular, I recommend it.

Hola a todos,saludos cordiales
Paso por esta hermosa comunidad la cual nos brinda la oportunidad de mostrar las plantas que cuidamos con tanto amor, cariño y dedicación ya sean planta ornamentales, frutales o plantas aromáticas como la que les presento a continuación el día de hoy.
No cuento con un gran espacio para plantar, solo un pequeño jardín que queda alrededor de mi casa. Me gustan sembrar plantas aromáticas porque cuando hay viento fuerte mis plantas se estremecen y desprender ese delicioso aroma que enamora y cautiva a todos.
No sé porque motivo no había tenido suerte al cultivar las plantas de albahaca, cada vez que plantaba la semillas estas no germinaban y así pasó mucho tiempo, hasta que una buena amiga vio mi frustración y me obsequio una planta de albahaca pequeña que trajo de su jardín.
Plante la planta en una maceta, ella creció con toda normalidad, pero cuando la planta se encontraba medianamente grande de repente a sus hojas le comenzaron a salir manchas oscuras lo que hizo que mi planta de albahaca se comenzara a deteriorar. Me pareció muy extraño ya que en otras ocasiones yo había plantado albahaca en macetas como esa, así que una vez que floreo agarre las semillas y las esparcí en mi pequeño jardín para comenzar de nuevo el proceso de germinación y rogando a Dios que cuando nacieran no tuvieran el mismo problema que las anteriores plantas que les salieron manchas negras en las hojas.
Luego que mis plantas crecieron recordé lo que me dijo una gran amiga que trabajó conmigo hace muchos años en un restaurante, mi amiga Mónica Arrieta, ella es amante de la planta de albahaca y realiza exquisitas salsas con esta planta.
Ella me dijo lo siguiente, que cuando la planta comenzara a florear le quitara con mis dedos o con una tijera todas esas flores que venían creciendo para que de esta forma la planta no perdiera su vitalidad y siempre se mantuviera frondosa y sus hojas conservaran el buen sabor que la caracteriza.
Ya que cuando la planta florea y dejamos que las semillas se sequen en la planta esta se comienza a poner escuálida y hasta pierde gran parte de sus hojas afectando así su sabor ya que el buen sabor de la albahaca disminuye ya no están concentrado y bueno, sino que más bien es un poco amargo.
Así que lo hice caso a mi gran amiga y el resultado me encanto, hoy en día tengo unas plantas de albahaca frondosas y con un color verde hermoso que enamora los vecinos que visitan mi casa. Por tal motivo les quiero mostrar lo hermosas que se encuentran mis plantas de albahaca, quiero mostrarles mi orgullo, mis plantas de albahaca se encuentran verdes y frondosas.
Para algunos puede ser que esto no signifique nada, pero para mí es un gran logro nunca había tenido una planta de albahaca tan frondosa y todo gracias a que les elimine las flores podándole cada vez que las flores aparecían.
Esta planta es un ingrediente obligado en mis preparaciones sobre todo me encanta agregar albahaca a la carne molida, queda espectacular se los recomiendo.

We always grow basil in the garden as we use ti for sauces and dry it as well for winter. Yours look great.
Hi @erikah,glad you stopped by my post. You have given me a great idea, I have never dried basil for the winter and it would be very useful, thanks again and happy day.
My pleasure. You should try it out as it's very good to have some for winter.
