Basil in a Tunnel?

[OverWyreGrower]

Bladdy basil!

I grew some from seed this year, but it doesn't seem to be happy anywhere...

It was originally in my blowaway (when the weather was good), but I then moved it to a sunny windowsill (no central heating). It doesn't seem to like it there; but I'm sure it's way too cold and windy to put it outside...

Will it like my polytunnel? I've got a pretty stable temperature of (mostly) high teens-low twenties, even on nasty, rainy, windy days; and the sprinklers are on every morning and evening.....

basil likes hot, and not too much wet, a good soaking every now and again will do it.
it'll do better in your tunnel than outside

I grew some in the tunnel last year and it loved it - went truely mad and way bigger than I'd managed in the past. It survived quite happily with no attention and probably insufficient water until it eventually went to seed.

Mine went in the tunnel last night, got a darn good soaking and still looked healthy this morning.... *fingers crossed*
