How To

How to grow basil

Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. It's great for flavoring dishes, adding flavor to soups, sauces, salads, pasta, and even desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.

1. Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination usually takes about ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. As necessary, you can add more potting material. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
4. After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
5. Regularly water the plants. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. To check how much water your plants need, you can use a rain gauge. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.
6. Take your basil out at the peak of its life. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
7. Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
