How To
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 great tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds in small pots that are 1/2 inch deep. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination takes approximately 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. Pour the potting mix into each container. Add gravel or pebbles to drain excess moisture. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
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.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
