Am I better off buying seeds from my grocery store or from the gardening magazines?  What herbs can handle a lot of rain? Thank You.   Bonnie

~Basil~ I paid upwards of $4.00 last year per basil plant I purchased and decided to try to save some money this year by planting the seeds I saved. So far, seems to be going good and I now have some plants in little plastic containters that are getting to be about 6 inches tall that I would like to start giving away or repotting when the time is right.

I also picked up some free seed packs from the doctors office in support of breast cancer and those forget me nots are doing pretty good, too. I have bought seeds from year end sales that did not do so well in the past so I am really pleased with my luck this year. Not sure if it is just dumb luck though or if it was the age of the seeds but I do like the feeling of growing seeds I saved or got from friends or family. I have cantelope plants growing in a pot from some seeds I saved from last year, too.

Amazing to me, anyway....

I was wondering if anyone have any tips about how long to wait before replanting seedling basil plants and if anyone knows about the different types of basil that is commonly used, I have had cinnamon basil and one other type and both are great to me.

Thanks!
