viva La Dolce Vita Blend

Do you always plant all the seeds that come in a seed packet?

I don't. I refold the top of the packet and store it in a repurposed plastic food storage container in the fridge.

These basil seedlings are from a Botanical Interests brand Viva La Dolce Vita Blend that was packed for 2020. It contains cinnamon, Genovese, lemon lime, large leaf and "Dark Opal" basils and the packet sows up to 240 feet! I'm planning to grow them under my new Barrina LED grow lights and since I've replaced my old-fashioned 4 ft. fluorescent bulbs my plants have exploded with growth.

I store many, many packets of seed in my refrigerator and when I go through them realize how many times I've rebought seeds I already have.

I've already started dill, parsley, and a container variety of small peppers. I ditched the coleus because it's toxic to cats.
