I've tried starting basil from seed twice now, using seeds from 2 different companies, and it doesnt grow.
Since the seed is so tiny I just barely cover them with soil, I don't keep the dirt soaked, but it's never bone dry either, it gets watered about once every 3 days. It's in a clay pot that seems to dry out faster than if it were glazed... but I don't know if thats the issue or what. It's irritating that WalMart basil seeds grew like there was no tomorrow for me, but using seed from SSE and Baker's Creek isn't working....
ETA: the dirt was Jiffy potting soil once and potting soil from some no name company this second time.
