Re: Jardín del Gotch
Not to worry! You can start working on next year's schematic at any time. Use pencil though. Things change.
Come gather 'round people / Wherever you roam / And admit that the waters
Around you have grown / And accept it that soon / You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'/ And you better start swimmin' / Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin' / Bob Dylan

Re: Jardín del Gotch
What's wrong; telling my...um...version of the truth, or actually planting just one of each variety?
The former WILL happen. The latter? Never!

Re: Jardín del Gotch
Sow (sic) it begins; (bottom to top) Emerald Towers, Lettuce Leaf, and Purple Ruffles Basils planted and under the lights.
Oddly enough, it's four (4) months to the day since the last time I had my hands in the soil, planting Garlic. The Gotch

While five (5) days seeding to sprout is Warp Speed for Emerald Towers and Purple Ruffles Basil:
It's (IMO) faster'n Greased Lightnin' for Slow Poke Lettuce Leaf Basil:
