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. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. 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 they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. As necessary, you can add more potting material. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
-
Take your basil out at the peak of its life. You can encourage bushier growth by picking the leaves more often.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
