Reply To: Excess plants from sowing

[Karen]

Thanks everyone from your replies…. keep them coming. 🙂

Think I am in big trouble. I just finished pricking out my tiny seedlings over the last 3 days….I have over 450 basil seedlings now (of about 8-9 varieities)!

I too usually give away my plants to friends and neighbours and family. Think it will be next to impossible to give away over 400 basil plants.

My other problem apart from being afraid of the seeds not germinating, I tend to sow rather excessively, hence THE outcome. I also cannot bear and bring myself to discard any seedlings to the compost heap. And hence, THE outcome.

This is absolutely insane. Morever, some of my basil seeds were bought in 2013-2014. Figured that their germination rate wouldn’t be too good.
