  • I've grown too many as usual @bédé so I won't be short if I get rid of them. They were definitely in the apricot packet as I actually managed to do some good labelling - normally I just rely on memory and it never works 😁. I sowed 3 or 4 into individual seed capsules and then pricked out the best ones. I thought the two were looking suspiciously healthy, it's because they are almost definitely weeds!
    @carletonexotic it's hard to say if their stalks are square, a bit too early to tell I think.

    The 2 in the back row look like Basil,  do they smell at all? 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor. 

  • Can't really add anything but the other four do look like foxgloves. We grow digitalis lutea which look exactly like the right hand side ones.

    I think they look like basil as well, (the two back left)

    Been there, done that!  And it's usually willowherbs! (though once it was a buddleia which I grew on and planted out in my garden!)
  • I can't detect any basil scent, not sure. I'll probably get rid! Space is at a premium as it is.

    Don't worry about it, I nurtured an entire bed of poppy seedlings this year, there was not one poppy in there! 😄
