Hi folks
At last I've managed to get some Basil to germinate and it is enjoying this warm weather.
I want to grow the plants in pots - could you please give me your advice on a) the minimum size pot per plant for a good crop and b) how many I could get in a 9" pot.
Many thanks

Ours has just germinated after 4 days, and we put ONE seedlng into a 9" pot - of which we have 5 - & that sees us through the season. Indoors! Just in case, sow a few more - the tom season can go on a bit!! Keep cutting even if you don't use it - it goes to seed quite quickly. It'll grow to about 18" high. = Tim
a-five inch
b-around 3/4
And do try some of the `bush` varieties as well.-great in pots.

- each to his own!! = Tim
Monday - btw - thanks, Stephan - made me check - it's 7" that we use - & that's for sweet basil. But last year we did 5 to a grow-bag - just right.
Thanks both - I seem to have rather a lot of plants (slurp - pesto here we come!) so I'll probably try both methods!
