I have some thai basil and I want it all year around. Can I use a sun lamp or something to make it grow?

Does anyone know what time it is.

Hi David,

I also love the subtle flavors of thai basil,also the color is great.

I will check in a couple of my books when I get home from work to see what I can come up with

CDS,

You should be fine with the basil indoors,
Just keep it moist and in the sun

Thank you very much cape chef. I have a whole slue of herbs and they're mostly in pots. So, in adapting them to indoors will not be a problem?

CDS....

I bring herbs indoors in my home in the fall before the first hard frost. I keep them in a bay window. I put small gravel peices under the pots in a resevoir tray and keep the herbs moist and in the sun

Thai basil

We live in California...near Sacramento. The summers here are perfect for growing Thai basil in a pot outside.
Unfortunately the winters are too cold
I suppose if you brought the plant indoors and kept it near a sunny window in a warm house, it would grow all season.
We just grow it when the weather allows and use sweet basil from the supermarket instead. Not the same taste but it works for our family
