Thanks, Francine!
I've had good luck doing basil with Tom DeBaggio's clump transplanting method... I think there are links in the first paragraph to articles on heat mats (and inexpensive alternatives) and light shelves (which also don't have to be $$) and preventing damping-off. That whole "Seed Starting 101" series that I did for DG sets out my seed starting methods pretty clearly -- it's not the only way to do things, but it's a way that many people have success with!
I'm not sure what seed you got from me, sorry. I know there were some packets being split, but I just don't remember which ones. fuzzy stuff... Hey, maybe you're talking about the Torenia seeds (blue mix) that still had pods & chaff in the bag? If so, get them started; they take a while.
