My Alien Invasion basils are going strong after a rainy week. Over all they look a lot like the seedlings of the parents. There is some purple on some which could be linked to the original AI which had purple influence. Some seem to have smooth stems with no hairs which may indicate back crossing to a pure basilicum basil. #basil #hybridbasil #breedingbasil #ocimumbasilicum #ocimumafricanum #plantbreedingandgenetics #seedsaving #growingbasil

Two types of Zambian lemon basil. Both are the species ocimum americanum. Can’t wait for the smell to develop. #basil #zambianbasil #zambia #growingbasil #ocimumamericanum

Growing Basil? The 'Very Specific Spot' You Should Be Pruning The Plant Basil helps to flavour many dishes, is the basis for pesto, and is one of Charlie Albone's favourite herbs to grow in the garden. But without the right care, it has a short life span. Having basil in the garden is perfect for cooking dishes like this tomato pesto vegetable bake, a classic Caprese salad, or traditional Genovese pesto.

My 12-year-old niece joked that she brought a book to a recent family dinner so she didn’t have to listen to us talk about the price of groceries. 😂 I won’t bore you with my rants about grocery prices. But it got me thinking about money-saving tips for growing your own food. I avoid clamshell packets of herbs at all costs, so I make sure to grow my own. Growing from seed is always the cheapest choice. But if you’re going to purchase seedlings, some plants provide extra value. When it comes to a pot of basil or parsley, It may look like you’re getting one robust plant, but it’s likely a bunch of little seedlings. They’ll look small and spindly at first when you take the “plant” apart, but each individual seedling will grow into a healthy plant. My recent basil purchase yielded 26 seedlings and a flat-leaf parsley purchase about 29. . . . #growingbasil #growingparsley #herbgardening #tarainthegarden #savvygardening #herbgrowingtips

It is soggy out there. Going to have to dig some drainage. Lots of weeding and mulching to do when it dries up. #basil #basilbreeding #farming #growingbasil #smallfarm

Everybody’s getting a basil plant this summer. 😂😅🌿 Well, that and we make a lot of pizzas in our outdoor oven during the summer. 🍕 Pool parties + pizza is a no brainer for Florida teen/pre-teens. 🏊🏽‍♀️♥️ Swipe to see a few more herbs I started from seed that I have growing and thriving! 🙌🏽🥳 🌿 Cilantro is a must have for us although it doesn’t like hot temps so I need to use more of it this week because the center most plant looks like it’s gonna bolt soon. 😬😅 🌿 Mint is another one we love for tea, lemonades, salads and soups.

@saildrmr2 the basil you gave us is doing well 🌱 ▫️ #basil #basilplant #pottedplant #growingbasil

Williamsburg Blue seedlings. Last year about only 1/3 had more blue than purple pigment in the tea. This year I will clone those that make sky blue tea and isolate them for inbreeding. Hope to drop seeds for these next year. #basil #hybridbasil #bluebasil #growingbasil #williamsburgblue #williamsburg

Did you start your Basil yet? This is Cinnamon Basil. It’s a spicy one and does taste like cinnamon when fresh. It loses that flavour during cooking though. I like Lime Basil more though. I add it fresh to my water in the summer. I’m growing Lemon Basil this year for a change and hoping to use it the same way. Basil is definitely an herb to have in your summer garden. #growingbasil #cinnamonbasil #herbgarden #gardenerofinstagram #backyardgardening

I am officially out of our Bee Keeper seed mix. I thank those that picked up some and hope the plants give you much joy. On that note I decided I will offer my open pollinated Akoko Mesa seeds that are likely loaded with hybrids. Akoko Mesa is a great basil from Ghana nearly immune to basil downy mildew. The Akoko Mesa is shown in the second photo. Let me know if you’re interested. #basil #hybridbasil #openpollinated #basildownymildewresistance #growingbasil

I’m ditching the plastic weed barriers this year in favor of leaf and grass mulch. I will also trial some paper biodegradable weed barriers. A lot of work but as the leaves and grass decay it will boast soil health. I have a lot of woods near by so I can just rake up the leaves I need. #basil #growingbasil #organicmethods #organicagriculture #organicbasil #leafmulch #leafmulching

Strange leaf shapes on some plants from my cosmic spice basil seeds. Cosmic spice descends from alien invasion and a believe was a cross with cinnamon basil. #basil #hybridbasil #growingbasil #plantbreeding #plants #plantbreedingandgenetics #herbs

Got a seedling bed ready. Great breeding technique to grow a large number of basils in a small space and select the best to transplant. Also great way to select plants better suited for your soil. #basil #basilbreeding #growingbasil #plantbreeding #plantbreeder #plantbreedingandgenetics #basilfarm

Bee Keepers are looking great and starting to develop some aroma. A nice blend of sweet, cinnamon, to funky herbal from plant to plant. Took them outside for some fun in the sun and wind today. Can’t wait to see what flower production is like on these. Will plant in a week or two. #basil #hybridbasil #basildownymildewresistance #plantbreedingandgenetics #plantbreeding #growingbasil #basilgarden

I’m excited for the potential in all of my Interstellar basil seeds. While this seedling looks like a fairly ordinary basil it’s likely to turn into anything but.

Basil is a heat-loving annual plant grown for use as a culinary herb. Many varieties exist, with subtle differences in flavour, growth habit, leaf colour, and so on. All have a rich, pungent taste and scent reminiscent of anise and cloves. This plant has been cultivated for over 5,000 years, originally from India to Persia, but has spread globally. The ancient Greeks knew about basil and its culinary and medicinal properties. Curiously, many ancient Romans believed that basil seeds would not germinate unless first being cursed.⁠ ⁠ Though we tend to think of it as an Italian herb, basil is a very common ingredient in the cuisines of Southeast Asia where Thai Basil and Holy Basil are more common, with their undertones of mint and liquorice, and slightly more intense flavour. In Pakistan, Holy Basil is grown near the entrances of some homes in an effort to keep evil spirits from entering. Several compact varieties of basil have also been bred. These tend to form tidier plants with smaller leaves, but with every bit of flavour.

Taking a risk with a way early first planting of some of our Linnamon basils. Cross our fingers the weather holds. #basil #hybridbasil #lemonbasil #cinnamonbasil #growingbasil #basilgarden

Wow we might have a cross of Interstellar and Mrihani basil from Zanzibar! I am basing this off the curly leaves. If true this could be a super hybrid with multiple levels of genetic resistance to basil downy mildew! #basil #hybridbasil #basilbreeding #growingbasil #plantbreeding #basilseedlings #basildownymildewresistance

Near the end of summer I would let these basil flower stalks grow and the bees are really happy about it. By fall these stalks have naturally dried out and I’d cut and stash every single basil flower stalk then stuck them all in a brown bag, saving them for the next growing seasons. 🍃 🐝 #growingbasil #savingseeds #garden #growingfromseed #herbgrowing #organicgardening #fromgardentotable #spring #springrain

Over the past few months, we have provided garden calendars so that you can successfully grow your favorite crops! 🌱🥰 Its been about 8 weeks since then, meaning your basil should be having some vegetative growth, and your bell peppers may be experiencing some flowering.

It was a sad day this morning when I checked on my plant babies. Two of my basil seedlings were just flopped over like this. I’m thinking it’s a case of dampening off from overwatering. This is the first year I have used coco coir and I’m finding it difficult to figure out how much to water because it seems to hold so much more moisture than regular seed starting mix. Hopefully they are the only two who succumb and the rest make it through!

Got some Purple showing up. From its heritage it should be quite interesting and also has a chance for downy mildew resistance. #basil #purplebasil #basildownymildewresistance #hybridbasil #growingbasil #plantbreedingandgenetics #basilbreeding

We may have a mutant. One of the seedling leaves is split in two. #basil #hybridbasil #basilplant #growingbasil #growingbasilfromseeds #plantbreeding #basilbreeding

These luscious baby basil plants are living their best life. Does growing basil challenge you? It is fussy, especially if you don't have a greenhouse. Tips 👉 👉Basil loves heat, which we in the north have a hard time providing. Grow it in a greenhouse or your warmest available spot outdoors 👉 Grow it in its own pot, in full sun 👉 bring it in at night if the temps are below about 7c 👉 water with room temperature water #hunnifordgardens #growingbasil #happyseedlings

I’m very excited to be planning an indoor grow operation soon so I can breed year round and also work on varieties prone to downy mildew and beetles. One variety of basil I plan on working on indoors is Williamsburg Blue pictured here. I am thankful for Clift from @plant3r_ for giving me the motivation to start planning an indoor grow op. On April 7th I will be giving a talk with his indoor grow community about basil and some of the ideas I am brainstorming for growing basil indoors. #basil #hybridbasil #growingbasil #breedingbasil #bluebasil

Have you struggled with your herb garden in the past? This year, plant those herbs in GardenSoxx® and watch them THRIVE. Just take a look at these different varieties of basil and how abundantly they are all growing - simply overflowing the GardenSoxx® and ready for a beyond-plentiful harvest. The secret, of course, is the optimal aeration and drainage provided by the GardenSoxx® mesh - allowing for perfectly air-pruned, healthy root systems with access to soil nutrients, water and oxygen simultaneously. The result is a healthier plant, that is naturally more resistant to pests and disease - allowing it to provide a higher yield with less maintenance. What herbs are you growing in your garden this year?

BASIL! Skip the basil from the grocery store! Get yourself a package of seeds and start growing it yourself! WHY?: 🌱 Way less expensive to grow 🌱 One seed grows into an entire bush that you harvest hundreds of leaves from 🌱 The taste is superior to the grocery store stuff 🌱 Basil repels some of the bad bugs they eat your other vegetables 🌱Basil is beautiful in the garden 😄Can't wait to make pesto! I will post my recipe when harvest begins! #growingherbs #growingbasil #springplanting #texaszone9a #texasgardening #herbs #basilpesto #harvestjoy

An interesting aspect of interspecies hybrid basil is that the offspring might take on characteristics different than both the parents. For example it’s common for hybrids to have almost indeterminate flower growth where the flowers just get longer and longer. The picture shown is a mid October Bee Keeper basil. #basil #hybridbasil #ocimium #basilflowers #plantbreedingandgenetics #plantbreeding #growingbasil #basilflower

Basil flowers are underrated as a great edible portion of the Basil plant. They are bursting with a sparkle of essential oil trichomes loaded with flavorful terpenes. To me Basil flowers also make the best tea. I’m looking forward to a good harvest of flowers this year and selecting for plants with dense trichome coverage. The flowers are also a favorite of many pollinating insects and even hummingbirds. So this season let the flowers be free on your Basil plants. #basil #basilflower #basilflowers #basiltea #growingbasil #hybridbasil #herbs #gardening #basilbreeding #plantbreeding #trichomes #terpenes

Yesterday was way to hot to be outside gardening so it was Basil pesto making day. Basil is a rich source of nutirents and packed with anitoxidants and combined with olive oil and garlic it is super good for you. I like to use it as a pasta sauce, on bruschetta, in soups, on grilled or roasted vegetables and on chicken. So why not grow some basil find your favourite pesto recipe and getting making. It freezes really well and will last several months without any lost of flavour. #basilpesto #usingbasil #growingbasil #whattodowithbasil #growyourownfood #backyardherbs #backyardselfsufficency #growingandusingherbs
