basil seedlings, for zoey

I have been waiting for my basil to sprout, and a bunch of stuff sprouted but i couldn't tell if it was basil or weeds. Finally, today you can tell.

these are basil
these are weeds
this is a basil seedling surrounded by weeds.The variety of basil is 'Sweet Genovese' so i imagine different varieties will look different.

How nice of you, Kate, to post this for me. Thank you! I have quite a few more of those little seedlings coming up and I am now sure they are basil. My seed was quite a few years old, so I was not sure it was still good. It was some package that I got free in the mail.

I wonder how long it will be before I can have fresh tomatoes and basil--I have never grown it from seed before.
