Seed of the Week 17: Basil // Grow The Taste Of Summer Now! #gardening #seedsowing
This week is the perfect time to start sowing basil seeds, especially for growing basil in pots or growing basil in a herb garden! Basil is the perfect seed to sow this month in a greenhouse, polytunnel, kitchen windowsil or conservatory. You can sow basil pots now to grow along side kitchen herb planters, mint, rosemary pots, sage pots, parsley, chives and corriander. Sow basil seeds in coir compost to transfer out later, or you can also direct sow basil seeds.
Basil is the perfect herb for adding fresh basil to pizzas or pasta, making your own fresh pesto recipe or even grow it to feed basil to guinea pigs!
