    Pricking Out Basil

    Plant at same level, or can I sink it? It's really healthy and about an inch high. Can't remember what I did last year and although when searching I can find lots of info, I haven't found an answer to this. I'm not sure if the stems will rot if I sink them?

    I've managed to root basil in small glasses of water Flo, so the stems will produce roots. I would think sink them so the bottom leaves are just above the level of the compost.

      Why not try each way and check the result? I would plant deep, don't try and transplant before the true leaves are showing and only pick the basil seedlings up by a coteledon (seed leaf) if still on the plants. Cheers, Tony.

          I've just done a few into a bowl and I've realised I've got hundreds of them. I really want to plant them with my toms so I'd better find some modules to put them in. Raincoat going on.

            Sorry to be a pain, but have either of you done Fennel in modules? Packet says to sow direct, but I never have much success with direct sowing of stuff.

              I got the free packet of Fennel seeds with this month's GYO, and I'm going to try sowing in modules. It will either work or it won't
