I didn’t look at my notes from last year, but I’m certain that the seedlings did not push through the soil in 3 days. I’m exactly 6 weeks from my spring ‘last frost date’ (1 May) and this variety is a very large plant—this means I’ll have the joy of the sweet smell of basil throughout the cabin for the last 3 or 4 weeks of their indoor growth.
I’ve checked on the lettuce I had planted in the garden, two varieties are going like gang-busters and I’ve got something poking it’s head above the soil in the two areas I was concerned about; I don’t think it’s lettuce, but won’t know for sure for a few more days.
