I remember you planted your tomato plants really early last year though? For what you use of basil it's just as easy to buy plants.
I'd better start some more seeds tomorrow though. I do the cinnamon, clove, anise as well as the regular sweet basil. I use the fragrant ones in my flowers bouquets as filler. Wonderful fragrance!
@farmerdill, I am actually almost keeping up with you! My peas were planted the earliest I have ever planted them, last week in Feb. but they are only about 1" tall, no blossoms! Otherwise all my cool weather crops are doing well. The beets and carrots really jumped since last weekend and I actually pulled a small radish and ate it today! It looks like I will have some leaf lettuce in two weeks for the first day of market, but that's about all I will have. Oh, I will sell some of my tomato plants too.
Today I planted beans. Provider can tolerate the cold better but since our soil is pretty warm already I took a chance and planted some wax beans and my favorite Jade II beans. I also planted my gladiolus I had to lift last fall because we had to plow under a large part of the garden. I have a new pack that I will plant in a couple of weeks to try and keep the harvest a bit longer.
I was weeding my onions and there are a lot of bare spots. The ones that survived the cold the best are the Red Creoles. But I planted over 500 sets so I'll still have enough. And I will have green onions as well.
