    poor basil

    my basil plants are nearly 2 months old now and are only about 2 inches high and havnt got any taller for a few weeks, could it be the variety? of which i dont know.

    i have started picking some tiny leaves i was told it helps to encourage the growth of them

    if not the variety what can you suggest can help them a bit?

    will get a pic on tomorrow

      Is it inside or out? Mines still inside and is about 6" - I need to seperate it and pot up.

        It may be the kind of basil you are growing - the one you buy in shops has big leaves and it doesn't sound like that one!
        Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

          if they're outside cloche them, they like the heat.

              hello there,sounds to me like the compost may be the cause,i had this problem when using B&Q multi compost,in the end i threw them out and bought a couple of growbags,what a difference,basil,red basil and sage now growing away happily (same packets of seeds),so for £1.50 or so you will soon catch up.....good luck with it...

                seen a vast improvement after seeing a video online, i put the pots into a dish with water and let it take the water from the bottom the indoors one is going good guns, outside one in the mpc is still slow
