I did direct seed outdoors. I thought it was plenty warm as I had already planted out my tomato plants but what do I know as I had never tried to seed basil before.

I don't think I am going to try again as nothing at all grew. So I am planning on just buying plants again this spring.

I winter sowed my basil last year--several different types--and every type sprouted and grew well for me after transplanting into the garden and pots. I had thai, lemon, cinnamon, sweet... I'm doing it again this year. I agree it could have been the seed...
