Planting Sweet Basil Seeds

Since arriving in our new place last September, 2013, we had not enough time for our plans.  We have neglected them, in short :-(

But I hope that we would be able to find time to take care of them better :-)

This morning, I saw some flowers on the Basil.

When I checked it closer, I saw that there are some seeds inside some of the dried flowers.

So I took some of the dried flowers and took the seeds inside it.

I used one of the unused pots and planted the seed on it.
Let us see how long it would take for the seeds to grow, and be ready for picking.
Today February 16, 2014.
