To my all viewers, I would like to inform that my Basil seeds again started germinating this month (October).
Basil seeds can germinate two times.
1. Month of March
2. Month of October
On my last image on the month of August Basil having drying seeds, some of seeds drop in soil and again started germinating. Still now Basil's drying seeds and also starts new basil seedling.
Tomorrow I will send new images of Basil.

Basil flavor is destroyed/changed once it starts flowering... it gets a bit bitter, so remove the flower heads as soon as you see them.. plant them in shade to reduce flowering...
