How to grow basil

Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. It's great for flavoring dishes, adding flavor to soups, sauces, salads, pasta, and even desserts. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.

1. Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. It likes full sun but can tolerate partial shade. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds must be planted at the latest two weeks before last frost. You should sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch in small pots. Wrap the pots with clear plastic and place them in a sunny area. Germination usually takes about 10 days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. The plastic wrap should be removed and the seedlings transplanted into larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
4. Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
5. Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
6. You should pick your basil at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
7. Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
