sweet basil & tumbler toms
I have potted on my tumbler toms to 3" pots and they are coming on
nicely. Some of you may remember that I had problems with some of the
original seedlings, and as a result I have another batch hot on the
heals of the few I have potted on.
I also have some sweet basil seedlings which have all now grown a good
set of first 'proper' leaves. These are planted individually in the
cells of seed trays/
My eventual plan is to plant out the toms and the basil together into a
couple of hanging baskets - they would seem to be the perfect partners.
However, should I group the sweet basil when I pot them on, or leave
them individual ?
If the latter, am I better off potting them on individually and then
putting several basil plants in with each tumbler plant ?
If the former, and I group them when potting on, should I then plant one
'group' in with each tumbler plant, or several ??
I will likely have only 2 hanging baskets (maybe 3 if I can find space),
each with either one or two tumbler plants (any thoughts on this?). I
currently have approx 20 basil seedlings that are doing well, and will
have about 15 tumbler plants which I will chose the best from and then
pass the others to the neighbours.
