Planted six seeds with one germinating exactly a week later. This is my first time attempting to grow basil indoors and from seed in the northeast. I’ve grown hearty bushes of basil on a balcony in London and on a patio in Chicago from grocery store plants with great luck. Fingers crossed this time since we seem to be off to a good start!

Hardy, fast growing, deliciously fragrant, and incredibly useful around the house for cooking, tea, and more! Great for beginners, it’s my pride and joy.

If your gets a lot of sun you need to water it’s a lot. If it’s starts to look droopy the water it a bunch.

Rabbits come and eat basil easily, and when you try to push them away the slowly creep back.

My basil plant is needy. It sits in direct sun and requires water on the daily.

Barry is an absolute treasure! He has consistently performed well above average in all areas of study except communication, which he still struggles with. One of my proudest moments was when Barry came out with “bëáh blā ßlœk!” and I think we should all appreciate that too sometimes.
Overall, I think Barry will go far in life so long as he gives up taking heroin during class. What he does outside of class is none of my concern so long as he turns up with that positive can-do attitude we all so love about him!

keep in a window that gets a lot of indirect light, mine is facing west and it seems to be doing really well. I also water him every morning or else he gets droopy, definitely a little dramatic but overall a pretty hardy plant

My basil is definitely a water lover. Previously in terracotta, she needed water every few days, especially in warm & dry weather. I recently repotted into a pot with a self watering system and BASIL LOVES IT SO MUCH. Not that she was bad before, but she’s really thriving now!
