Help! My Basil is bolting too soon!

9 years ago
I just realized yesterday that my pesto basil is bolting. And now, I walk outside to see that my classic italian basil is bolting too! It's my husbands favourite herb, I don't want to go without it for the rest of the summer and fall... What do I do?? Is there a way I can delay this from happening? Starting a cutting I don't think will give me enough basil fast enough... we literally eat herbs like salad in my house. Help! Oh... and how do I harvest the seeds? thanks!
