How To
How to grow basil
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 great tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
-
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. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination can take up to ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. 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 outside in direct light or in a sunny area. Mist the plants daily to prevent wilting.
-
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.
-
Take your basil out at the peak of its life. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
