I’ve been busy. I am still busy.
I spent last weekend alone at my apartment (as usual). I bought a small pot and basil seeds from Home Depot. I decided to give it one more try growing basil – this time from the seeds.
My neighbor’s cat kept looking at me through the fence as I was getting the pot ready. She is my favorite cat. So I stopped what I was doing and played with her for a while. I know all my neighbor’s pets. And they all love me.
I hope I have better luck with basil this time.
It gets cold during the Wintertime. So, I need to the pot inside when I go to sleep.
Re: Basil Seeds
Love the blog! I am also a beginner spices grower. My basil has been going thru up and down in the past few months. It grows well when it was in hot weather but some bugs ate up all of the leaves! It didn’t hurt the plant but promoted new growth and I felt sooo cheated!! Just a small tip you might find useful: I find that using fish fertilizer (can be found at walmart) works like steroids on plants.
Re: Basil Seeds
Hi
I think it was a bad idea to start a basil pot in October.
I know I’m in Sunny California, but I think, still, the timing is bad.
I’ll take this as a practice run.
I should start a new batch come next Spring.
I was thinking about some kind of fertilizer, because mine are growing super slow. I will check it out.
Nice talking to you
