    Seem to have broken my corriander curse, but still utterly fail at basil every attempt. Bolts instantly

      I have trouble with both in the garden. I’ve never managed corriander outside, basil I’ve had ok but not great results. These are just the pots you get at the supermarket veg section. I just leave them in a container with a bit of water at the bottom, and add a bit of seasol occassionally and they regrow really well, as long as it gets enough light.

      I don’t buy basil anymore (supermarket rescue) because it died of some fungal wilt and I don’t want it spreading to the next. (Apparently the disease can hang around in the environment.)

      No idea why it got sick, perhaps the exposure was before I bought it or maybe there were spores already in my back yard
