I usually plant 3-4 plants each spring, and they grow very well, which gives me far more basil than I can use as fresh. I freeze a lot of it, freezing some of it already chopped in ice cube trays, then wrapping individual cubes. The rest I freeze as flat leaves. Not as good as fresh basil, but better than dried. If I really need to have fresh (for feeding company,) these days I can buy it at the larger supermarkets.

And a hanging herbgarden? Would that be doable?
