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. -- Neil.
