how to harvest sweet basil

0 1
I have never grown sweet basil and would like to know how to harvest it. I know with basil in the past, I just cut it and it regrew. Since sweet basil is on a hardier base, do I just pick the leaves?

when the plant is dry and about 2 ft tall, start to pick the leaves from the top down...if a flower comes just cut it off....you can use it fresh, dry it or freeze it.
