I've tried to grow basil from seeds twice and I had the same problem. I think slugs were the culprits. I ended up buying some plants from the nursery and they had a few leaves eaten, but not enough to hurt the plant. Perhaps starting them inside or otherwise protecting them until the plants are bigger/stronger is enough. Perhaps the slugs thought they were safer than snails associating with herbs... patty1@wintertime.com wrote: > Speaking of basil, which pests really go after it?
