What's your favorite basil recipe?

has it flowered? it's been a long time since I grew basil but mine used to wilt after it flowered, and I'd just prune it back a bit and it'd come up good again. but that's if it's already pretty established.
the only other thing I can think of is that basil is super fussy about watering...in a pot they often need water almost daily, BUT they pitch a fit if you over water. so it'll wilt if it has too much or not enough water. so maybe start playing with the watering situ and go from there. if the soil is even remotely dry, give it a drink.

etc

Harvested a ton of leaves from it (yay, more pesto!) and it's perking up a bit with new growth, but still haven't figured out just the right amount of watering.

been eating sooo much pesto lately

Back when I had it on a south-facing fire escape and I didn't water in the morning before work, it would be so droopy by 7pm that it seemed like it had never had a phloem or xylem in its life, but with water would perk up before dark. Always was healthy that way.

I love it in just salads mixed with other greens. I also like it in Mexican hot chocolate.

pesto is the bomb
