Last year I had TONS of basil. I mean, a BUMPER CROP-which I started in the greenhouse, in styrofoam trays. (We reuse these)
This year, I've grown them in jiffy pots, once again, in the greenhouse-and I don't have ONE SINGLE SPROUT of basil! Can someone tell me what's going wrong? I LOVE my basil! :(
My basil all sprouted and then did nothing for weeks - just two timy leaves and then it all randomly died one day! Not sure why. Looks like I'll be buying some starts at the store.
I think they call it damping or dampening off. The soil is too moist & it rots at the base. I have had that happen too. I could also be reusing tray or pots without cleaning them?
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Hrm. We bought brand new trays this year, but, I have my basil in the jiffy pots. Maybe I'll take them out of the water to dry for a little while. :( My basil was so great last year!
basil problem?
