Hi all,

Since I have a gathering coming up soon, I took a couple snips of
shoots from my potted basil plant and plunked them in water. They seem
to be rooting just fine, but the apex leaves have turned black. I
pinched them off and am going to plant them in pots tomorrow, but is
this anything I should seriously worry about? As far as feeding them
to guests and family, I mean.

Thanks,

Chris
