Growing Basil

The next step is to choose if you want to grow your basil from seeds or from a seedling. A seedling is a young plant that has already started growing and can be purchased from a local nursery or home improvement store. Growing basil from seed is not difficult, but if you are a novice gardener, starting with a seedling might be the better choice. If you are growing basil from seeds, you can first grow indoors in late winter, then transplant to your garden outside in the spring after the last frost.
