A week before Marcia threw away all my dry basil plants, I was bright enough to take some seeds and place them in a container. I didn´t know what would happen with them, but I watered the plants and cared for them. After sone time, a tiny couple of very green leaves came out. Then, another one came and yet another one. It was not weeds as they coud be. Still, with great care, I pinched one of the tiny leaves with my fingernail and then smelled it. A delicious aroma was in my finger: it was basil. On the next days, other seedlings came out. I hope they don´t dry out when I transplant them. I´m very happy.

Be careful with them especially in transplanting them.

How old does the seed until it ready to move to soil? My seeds always dry out after i move them to soil.

You have to keep the soil wet but not soaked.

Be kind to nature and you'll be rewarded. Which a skill I haven't master, yet. I always want to try growing my own plant. It's cost saving if I can regrow what I eat. How long will it takes before you can transplant them?

Probably 2 or 3 weeks. Maybe a little more.

I make pesto and freeze it every year. But I also use fresh basil leaves for a lot of dishes.
