That way new branches will sprout from the bases of the leaves that remain on the plant and your basil will grow wider instead of higher. <br/><br/>How are your little plants doing?

I haven't read up on how to grow them. We just threw seeds in the soil and watered them.<br/><br/>I'll share this with my daughter. Maybe between the two of us we can manage to keep the basil alive. :) Thanks for the words of encouragement.
