I seeded some carrots in front of the basil. If they are coming up they are too microscopic to see yet. I did some in a taller box, too, and see some little first leaves. I am starting a box of basil from seed, too. I think I bought the seed two years ago and never touched it. I will probably buy another long tall box for a bit of leaf lettuce.

It is my experience that when I lived in Florida, Rosemary will start slow and grow and grow and grow for years until it becomes a bush. The only thing is to keep Rosemary and Basil apart.
