Default Anyone know how to keep a basil plant going?

Three years ago I bought a basil plant at Lowes. Every time it bolted,
I'd cut off the seed and let them drop onto the ground. I now have a
bunch of basil plants that have grown up from the original. When the
heat here kills one off, another sprouts. I have "wild" basil, I guess.

Just bought a basil plant that is not supposed to grow seeds. Planted
it and "topped" the other plants in the garden.
