I can’t see why basil should be expensive, as it is so easy to grow. Good on you for having a go!

Thank you so much. I am going to do this for sure. You make it seem easy. I live on the Coast so we have nice days this time of year ans come march, they can be set outside.

if you want these herbs to grow faster, try exposing the seed coat with sandpaper, do NOT pat the soil down before sowing, and use subirrigation to water. to subirrigate, just poke holes in the bottom of your container and set the container in a bigger container of water. this helps not to compact the soil so that the roots have room to easily grow.

It’s true. It’s actually quite ridiculous. Here it’s roughly $2 for a potted herb, and around $3.50 for a smaller amount of cut herbs.
