Keep your basil growing in winter

So, almost a year ago I wrote about how easy it is to grow basil (you can read about it here). What I hadn't realised at that point was that we were heading into winter. I had never attempted to grow basil in the garden in winter and I failed miserably!

The secret to growing huge basil plants

There is no secret trick really.

Since that bag of carrot seeds (you can read about them here), Lexi and I have done a lot of experimenting with herb propagation. We tend to buy herbs in pots, put them in a sunny spot on the kitchen windowsill, yet they never thrive.
