Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.

How to grow basil

Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.

  1. Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two 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 takes approximately ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 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. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
  4. Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
  5. Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To check how much water your plants need, you can use a rain gauge. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
  6. Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
  7. Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
