I have indeed experienced bolting, but only with my basil plant. I just kept chopping off the flowers, but it was pretty insistent on shooting them out. Still got a lot of leaves off of it over the course of the summer :)

@justtryme90 ah - I haven't with the basil I also have no success in growing one
Is where you live very warm? Basil doesn't seem to like it when things get really hot.
@justtryme90 no, in fact very cold now - just snowed and normally wet - I live in the country where the 1st ever Steemfest was held. I grow them indoor in a pot. Perhaps I should grow them in my vegetable garden - I'm getting a new one - bigger this year and maybe I could try out there. In the pot, they die one by one. Leaves with and the stems turn brown first from the bottom. The longest they lasted was 2 months and I'd buy again, re-pot them in a bigger pot after 2 weeks and have the same result. Like insanity - I tried propagating by cuttings but the same thing happens maybe am doing something so wrong.
