How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination can take up to ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. 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 necessary, you can add more potting material. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
-
Water your plants frequently. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
Use paper towels to dry leaves. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
