Message: [QUOTE="Meadowlark, post: 303553, member: 7117"] Basil seeds are easy to harvest. The brown, papery husks that form on the flower stem contain the seeds. You want to let those fully mature before harvesting. Some folks remove the seeds from the husks...but I prefer leaving them in as shown. I think the husks give some added protection to the seed inside. I find the seed will germinate just fine in my climate. Yes, basil will and often does cross pollinate with a different variety of basil near-by. [ATTACH type="full"]116720[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
