How to grow basil
Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could 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.

Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination usually takes about 10 days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add more potting mixes as necessary. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.

After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
