How to grow basil
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.

It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annual plant that will only survive one season if placed in the correct place. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you are growing it outside, choose a spot with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination takes approximately ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Add potting mix to each container. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. To prevent wilting, mist the plants every day.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.

Water the plants regularly. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.

You should pick your basil at its peak. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.

Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
