How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some ways to grow basil indoors.
-
Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination usually takes about 10 days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. Add more potting mix as needed. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
-
Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
-
You should water your plants often. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your 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. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
