How To

How to grow basil

Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.

  1. It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. It likes full sun but can tolerate partial shade. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination typically takes around ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Fill each container with potting mix and add some gravel or pebbles to help drain excess moisture. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
  4. After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
  5. Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
  6. When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
  7. The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
