How to grow basil
Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. It likes full sun but can tolerate partial shade. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two 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. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. You can add more potting mix if necessary. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. Mist the plants daily to prevent wilting.
-
Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
-
You should water your plants often. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To check how much water your plants need, you can use a rain gauge. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. You can encourage bushier growth by picking the leaves more often.
-
Use paper towels to dry leaves. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
