I sow mine directly as I don’t really use it until tomatoes are ripe. I sow seed when I plant out the maters.

I have a heck of a time trying to start them in the winter. It's pretty cool in the basement and they grow soooo slowly (when they're not actually dying

I started a sweet and a lemon a few weeks ago for window sill growing. The lemon will be nice in a pot to walk by and smell but not sure how useful it will be in dishes.
My main sowing of sweet for in ground started last weekend. I tucked it in on the dvd player and it sprouted in two days. It immediately went in a sunny window and spent some time outside today. There is no comparison to growing outdoors as it really doesn't take off till it stays outside. Wanted to check it off my list before I get busy with tomatoes and peppers. If downy mildew strikes later in the season, I'll start up some Elenora or Holy Greek. -Lisa |

I tried Cinnamon basil a few years ago and haven’t looked back since.

I'll probably start a few this week or next week then I just start taking cuttings and dropping in cups of water, this saves me room on the grow table.

Cinnamon basil smells and tastes somewhat like cinnamon to me.

I had one plant last year that was pungent with a licorice smell like anise. I saved seeds and will be trying to get the same plant as last year.
