Basil will sulk when it is watered later in the day, so like you say, it is probably miserable about the watering regime. We can't always do everything we would wish for our plants. Sometimes a plant doesn't suit us because it is too fussy for our lifestyle. I would like to grow some more demanding plants in pots, but I know that I couldn't take on the watering, so I do without them.

I would have loved to grow it for eating but I have given up that, the basil taste too strong when you grow it yourself, at least mine does. Even when it is supposed to be the same variety as I buy in the supermarket. But it doesn’t taste the same, too strong. <br />So I have resorted to grow basil just for my tomatoes, to keep them happy and pest free, but even that is difficult – and this year I think the basil will end up in the compost bin even earlier than usual. I grow the basil in big pots, placed among the tomato plants, in full sun. The basil bolts, wilt, look miserable, fail to grow much and often have distorted leaves. I have never heard of the ‘water before noon’ thing, but maybe that’s where I go wrong? I am not able to water before noon so all my plants will have to accept evening watering.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-77992243230893154982016-07-11T15:01:48.422+01:002016-07-11T15:01:48.422+01:00Basil and tomatoes are a match made in heaven.
