How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. Here are some 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. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination can take up to 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. The plastic wrap should be removed and the seedlings transplanted into larger containers. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. As necessary, you can add more potting material. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
-
You should water your plants often. Basil needs to be hydrated regularly to ensure its survival. 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.
-
Take your basil out at the peak of its life. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
