How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination takes approximately ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. Add more potting mixes as necessary. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
-
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
-
Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Place the leaves in glass jars, bags or in the refrigerator.
