Collecting Basil Seeds from my garden...
By now I think most of you know that gardening has become my main hobby since April this year...
Even my blog these days are full with fruits, veggies, herbs and gardening posts, hmmm food will come soon!!!
Today I want to share something I did yesterday, but which I waited for about 5 months before being able to do it!!!
Collecting Basil Seeds!!!
I waited until we could see the part having the seeds staring to dry as you can see below.
Can't let them fully dry up, or else all the seeds will be blown away by winds.
Selected some branches...
And I carefully opened each pod to take out the seeds!
Took me around 30 minutes to finish this much.
Over 100 seeds!
With only this little pods, I easily got more than a hundred seeds...
I discarded all the dirt and here I have my organic basil seeds which I planted right away!
Direct in the soil...
With my other basil plants getting old, it is time to plant more so that we keep having fresh basil at home.
I sowed all the seeds in the same place I have radishes.
Once they grow up with 5-6 leaves, I will then transplant in a better area.
Now we need to have them born first!!!
If everything goes well, these seeds should be grown up nicely in around 2 months time...
But not sure they all gonna make it through mature plants!
I will keep you updated via my posts here!
Have you ever collected seeds from your plants for replanting!?
How was the experience!? Was it successful?
Hope to read from you in the comments section below.
We need more connections and comments on this platform and we all need to make an effort!
Thanks for all the support!
Wish you well!
