This is another experimental planting. The sweet basil I sowed indoors weeks ago is developing very slowly. Now that the beds are warm, I’m wondering if direct sowing will go any faster. Of course, I’m comparing apples to oranges, or rather Cinnamon basil to Sweet. But there’s room in the bed … so why not?

It’s hard to tell if these are basil, or a weed … but I’m running with the hope that it’s my basil.
