These Genovese Basil seeds from Seeds Of Plenty are fantastic. I got an excellent germination rate and the leaves are full of flavour. I certainly recommend these seeds, absolutely exceptional. I used a good quality herb and vegetable potting mix and covered lightly with straw once I scattered the seeds, kept in full sun for around 4 to 6 weeks and watered everyday, then moved the pot to a mostly shady spot to live out it’s days near the backdoor for quick access. This is my second sowing as the first sowing have been attacked by hungry creatures, one sowing for the creatures, one sowing for me.
