How To
Basil growing tips
Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. Basil is great to add flavor to dishes, sauces or pastas. Here are some ways to grow basil indoors.
-
Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. You should sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch in small pots. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination typically takes around ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
-
You should pick your basil at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
