How To
Basil Growing Tips
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. It likes full sun but can tolerate partial shade. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. You should sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch in small pots. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. 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.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. Add more potting mixes as necessary. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. Mist the plants daily to prevent wilting.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Regularly water the plants. 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.
-
You should pick your basil at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
