RE: A couple of questions.


The easiest way to propagate almost all Basils is from seed, “African Blue” which doesn’t set viable seed, is the only one we grow that has to be propagated vegetively. We just stick a bunch in a jar of water and leave it on the prop bench until it has put down a net of roots, a process which normally takes about three weeks. I don’t see why the same method can’t work with other Basils in a jar on the window sill.

Subject: A couple of questions.

 

I  planted a small olive tree about 18 months ago. It is growing well, should I fertilise it ? When to prune and how. It looks so complicated..

Has anyone experience with rooting basil from as bunch bought in the market ?

The on-going discussion about no/low water gardens is excellent.

Thank you.

Jennifer
