1. yes... no one can keep supermarket basil (or any herb for that matter)- evil crafty tescos!
2. i grew 5 basil plants from seed- they germinated and i replanted them in their own pots. two i kept in the kitchen, one outside, and two in the greenhouse to see which would work best... and they ALL died!! Do you think I will have better luck buying a fully grown plant and keeping it inside/the greenhouse? |
I have been growing basil from seed and keeping it in an unheated greenhouse with great success. Water only when dry and I find they don't like to get too hot so shading is essential to avoid scorching.
