In a message dated 97-08-17 07:19:32 EDT, you write:

<< should you pick off just the leaves, or should
 I take the whole stem?  I have been picking the leaves only, and I think
 the plant is trying to go to seed now.

 I would also ask if anyone knows about cilantro too.  The bottom few
 leaves were big and then there was all this little fern looking stuff on
 the top.  Is this going to seed or is this part of its regular growth?

Hi!

For basil, I pinch off the stem and leaves.

Your cilantro sounds like it has gone to seed.  Just replant!
