How To

How to grow basil

Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.

Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot 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. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination takes approximately ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering 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.
Take your basil out at the peak of its life. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
