In the past, I’d successfully grow basil seeds indoor only for them to die outside because it was too cold, shady, and windy for the delicate seedlings. This time around, there was a short heatwave in San Francisco, which allowed them to get a little bigger before the inevitable return of the chilly fog. I’m hoping that little power boost will be enough for them and they’ll be more resilient moving forward. Keep ya posted 🙂

👋🏼 Just a girl, trying to grow as much food as I can with what I have right now.
About me
📍Located in the foggy city of San Francisco, California Zone 10

☀️ 4 hours of direct sunlight in the “sunniest” part of my garden but mostly shady and windy
🪣 Growing exclusively in 2-10 gallon grow bags and buckets
💚 Everything is grown from seed using organic materials and practices
