How To
Basil growing tips
Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. 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.
-
You should choose carefully where to place your basil. 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 plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds must be planted at the latest two weeks before last frost. 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 takes approximately ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are 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 mix as needed. Place the containers in indirect or sunny light. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.
-
After the dangers of frost have passed, mulch the plants. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Water your plants frequently. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
-
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
