Cardinal is a pretty variety! Good to know it tastes good, too.
Time to think about seeds for this year's garden! Finally, I have the time/energy to do some seed starting. Only problem is that many of my seeds are too old. Shoe suggested a soak in a weak nitrogen solution (I'm thinking a bit of Miracle Gro?) might wake them up.
Really hoping I haven't lost my "Hot & Spicy" basil from Goree Island... not commercially available, it's a variety I grew for years starting with a few seeds passed along through a friend. It's a thai basil, but it has a peppery kick, very much like the difference between regular greek basil and 'Hot & Spicy' greek basil.
If anybody is growing that one, PLMK! I sent out hundreds of packets at one point..
I'm also thinking of sowing a tray of ground cover thyme, maybe Mother of Thyme, something low growing I can do from seed. Suggestions?
