Is early Spring best or early summer?
When is the Best tiime to plant true lavender and Basil?
Basil should be planted after your last frost date. Check at: http://www.victoryseeds.com/frost/ to find the date for your location. Along with your sweet basil, you may want to try lime basil. It has a very unique flavor.
True lavender can be planted as soon as the weather warms up in the spring. It's a perennial. I will not flower the first year. If you want lavender this year, you need to buy the "lady" variety.
Reply:You can plant those now, depending on where you are. I'm in Texas and we're planting lavender and basil now. Hope that helps.
Reply:Basil really likes a warm soil and will totally die even after a mild frost. The basil leaves are just too delicate to withstand frost. Plant when the weather has gooten warm and will stay warm. You might think that it wont grow fast if you dont get it in but if you wait for the ideal weather, the basill will take off. Lavender can be planted in the spring as it does not flower until later in the growing season.
Reply:we started ours indoors in February. Just be sure it get's plenty of sun
