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 for growing basil indoors at home.

  1. 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. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. 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. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Fill each container with potting mix and add some gravel or pebbles to help drain excess moisture. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. Mist the plants daily to prevent wilting.
  4. Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
  5. Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
  6. Take your basil out at the peak of its life. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
  7. Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Place the leaves in glass jars, bags or in the refrigerator.
