I have two basil plants living dramatically different lives at the moment. One plant is thriving. I can hardly keep up to the pace it is growing at and the plant is absolutely flourishing.
My other basil is down to one small stem that isn't really doing much in comparison to my out of control plant. The lower parts of this plant appear to be dying and I just don't think there is much I can do about it. The parts that are growing seem healthy but the plant isn't what it used to be.
