I have my basil plants in a pot right now (which I transplanted) and in an Aerogarden. My one plant (Globe Basil) in the Aerogarden provides more basil than I could ever use. I also have a Lemon Basil plant in the Aerogarden. I don't like it as much, so tend not to keep it up as well. (Although it could be good in this lemonade!) I've had better luck with my basil in a pot rather than in my garden plot, but I think that I just tend to them more. eta: Frequently when you purchase plants from the garden store, they are fairly root-bound in the little plastic pots. This will inhibit growth. They should be transplanted into a larger pot. You can 'loosen' the roots a bit before transplanting them. (Thanks Martha Stewart!) The plants should grow better after that.

Yeah, my tiny potted basil plant actually held on for much longer than I expected with all the pinching back for pesto and what have you, but I've been a little greedy lately making this tuna, cucumber and basil salad for lunch too frequently and over pinched.
