How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Choose your location carefully. 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 plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination takes approximately ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. As necessary, you can add more potting material. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. 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. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
-
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
The leaves can be dried on paper towels or screens. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
