How do I care for basil plants?
I have four or five nice healthy basil plants but not sure if I should try to winter them over. The other herbs I will as I am familiar with them and they are not as large as the basil.

Maura, Kim, Amy and Betsy. Thank you all for your responses to my basil question. When friends meet here on Monday I will see if any of them want the plants for immediate consumption. The plants have been nice and healthy and smell good, so they have not been a loss just for enjoyment. Thank you again.
