germination testing a few annuals, a quick method in a bag on paper towel and a few drops of water. at 5 days most of the basil and tomatoes are up, a good result. red rubin wants to explode out of the bag. so what's next well I'll probably plant the basil, tomatoes need a couple more weeks targeting planting day - 8 weeks for those (we can plant in southern mb early to mid june)

Red Rubin Basil stands out with its distinctive reddish-purple leaves, bringing not only a splash of color to gardens but also a stronger flavor compared to traditional sweet basil. This fast-growing annual herb can reach up to approximately 70 cm in height and is adorned with small pink flowers in late summer, enhancing its ornamental appeal.
Originating from a cultivar developed in Denmark in 1992, Red Rubin Basil is known for its high levels of anthocyanins, which contribute to its unique hue. This variety thrives in full sunlight and well-draining, fertile soil, making it a suitable addition to both herb and ornamental gardens.
