Hello all! I purchased Basil (pronounced Bazel-like the British name) last August from our local grocery store. He spent a lot of time outside and provided us with many yummy leaves. When fall came and temperatures began to drop below his comfort level my wife brought him in and decided to see how long she could keep him around. By the end of winter he was still around but not looking exactly happy. He started taking trips outside again and perked up and once again this summer provided us with delicious basil-ey goodness. But now we are having a bit of an issue that we are looking to find the best solution for. Our friend basil has grown too tall for his own good and he (and his little friends that came with him in his pot) are wanting to lean and flop around when moved and I am afraid he is going to either snap off or lean too far and end up curling down in an unnatural position. Basically I am looking for the best way to prop/hold/support him and any other tips/tricks/advice you can give us. I know basil plants don't live forever but it's become a bit of a challenge to us to keep him around as long as we can. I have attached some pictures of his current state. Thank you!!!
