How To
Basil growing tips
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. It's great for flavoring dishes, adding flavor to soups, sauces, salads, pasta, and even desserts. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination can take up to ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
You should pick your basil at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
