Basils 九層塔


從左至右﹕

Holy Basil--kra paw, 泰國種嘎拋 ?

Thai Basil--泰國種紫骨九層塔

Genovese
Sweet Basil--意大利種九層塔


這些都是同時點種,白天日光浴,晚上睡greenhouse,沒用heating mat。

意大利種最早發芽,比較耐寒,長得最快。

泰國紫骨種比較慢發芽,可以接受多少寒 氣。

嘎拋發芽最晚,不能接受寒涼氣候,可是天氣熱起來它跑得很快。

Paging Tahai: 我的嘎拋葉不像你種的那種,why? 去年舊家有你種的那種,可是。。說不像,why? I am confused! Maybe these are Korean mint? The leaf underside is purple; I might have gotten the seeds and labels mix up (thaaaaat's meeeeee!)

Correction 5-16-2007
The "basil" on the left is Korean Green Perilla, not Holy Basil; I will post another picture to show the difference later.

更正﹕左邊那杯不是嘎拋, 是韓國紫蘇

Shar,
I started them early in peat pellets; they really took off after they were transplanted to 16oz foam cups. I pinched 3" off from the sweet basils to get some branching; I'm going to have to do the same for the Thai basils too; these guys are growing like gang busters because of heat spell and rain. They love moist hot air!
