Review: Great for Pesto! - A Review of Premier Seeds Direct Genovese Basil I recently snagged a packet of these famed Genovese basil seeds, and here’s the lowdown: 🌱 What You Get 2000 organic seeds harvested from classic Italian sweet basil—just right for pesto dreams. ⏱️ Performance Germination time clocked in at 15-18 days in March (sown in a soon to be banned peat based multipurpose compost) and they were ready to harvest in about 60—quick turnaround for fresh leaves. Flexible growing conditions: full sun or partial shade, makes it forgiving for lazy gardeners like myself. 👍 Pros Value-packed: 200. seeds for the price feels like stealing—seriously, enough basil for a small army. Germination success: Very high, with very light appliaction of water. Organic and eco-conscious: minimal packaging, certified organic—great if you’re eco-aware. 👎 Cons & Caveats A few users reported no growth, but let’s be real—it’s probably human error. Soil, light, water—pick two (or all three). Packaging doesn’t come with instructions, so if you’re a total gardening noob, you might need to Google how deep seeds go (0.15–0.3 cm) and spacing (20–25 cm between plants). 🔍 Summary If you're after affordable, organic Genovese basil and don’t mind doing a tiny bit of homework, this is a cracking buy. Loads of seeds, eco-friendly, and reviews show strong germ success—just be sure you’ve got the basics down: planting depth, light, water. Final verdict? 5 out of 5 leaves. If only they’d thrown in a sachet of pesto seasoning also, this would be perfect.
Review: The seeds work and produce nice basil plants - Growing basil in mt hydroponic system and the seeds are doing well. i have a good amount of basil growing within a few weeks...given the wet cold weather outside this seems amazing.
