Basil Seeds Planted
Feb. 24th, 2018 04:15 pm14 pots. 6 large, 8 small. This should yield around 24 plants when put out in the garden. I am going to plant another 6 pots sometime in the next week.
My basil seed is on the old side so I over planted significantly. Three to five seeds per spot and three spots in each small pot and nine in each large pot. There will be (tasty) thinning as winter fades. The seeds were soaked for six hours befroe being planted in potting mix or seed sprouting mix. As always the variety of pots and mixes are to test if there are real differences between cheap and expensive potting mixes. All of them are in my south window right now.
If I do not see any results in a week I will try again with fresh seed.
