How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. It likes full sun but can tolerate partial shade. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination usually takes about ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. The plastic wrap should be removed and the seedlings transplanted into larger containers. Fill each container with potting mix and add some gravel or pebbles to help drain excess moisture. 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.
-
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. 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. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
-
When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Place the leaves in glass jars, bags or in the refrigerator.
