Notes

Date inaccurate.

Sweet basil - one on north-facing balcony, one on south-facing balcony. Both plants did well, but not as well as in previous years. Pesto!

2013-09-01: Attempted Thai basil, but I think it was too late in the year for it.

Seriously damaged by frost late Dec 2013.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
