Basil growing tips

Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. 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.

1. Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination usually takes about ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. 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. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect 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 keep them warm and prevent water loss.
5. Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be hydrated regularly to ensure its survival. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
6. Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
7. The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
