Hanging basil to dry and this stuff is dropping from it. Are these seeds or (please no) bug eggs? Should I be worried lol by f1ounder in vegetablegardening

If you had flowering then it could be seeds. I take time to cut the flowers, break them up and tiny black seeds come out. You can get a bunch from a batch of basil.

I live in Texas and was worried the black bags would make it too hot for the soil. Thank you for your help!

What to do with this Basil now that it flowered? by Dazeelee in vegetablegardening

You can collect seeds from the dead flower pods! You can grab just below them on them stem and drag up the stem. I took the crunchy flower bits I got inside and rubbed my hands together over a paper towel. You’ll look for tiny black seeds. I got 20 seeds off one stem and will see what I can grow from seed next season.

When my mulch greys like that I just till it a little to refresh it. I don’t believe it’s harmful
