Basil is a little shy at first. Initially, the seeds will form a gel-like substance before sprouting little leaves, but give them some time and you'll see them start to flourish. Once fully grown, remove any flower buds that begin to appear and be sure to pick the leaves regularly to encourage more growth. They respond extremely well to it, and it also prevents the potential of them turning a little bitter.
