Basil growing tips

Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.

  1. Carefully choose your location. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
  2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Plant the seeds in small pots that are 1/2 inch deep. Wrap the pots with clear plastic and place them in a sunny area. Germination typically takes around ten days. After the pots have germinated, place them in a sunny area where temperatures are around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Once they are large enough to handle, transfer the seedlings. The plastic wrap should be removed and the seedlings transplanted into larger containers. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. As necessary, you can add more potting material. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.
  4. Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
  5. Regularly water the plants. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
  6. Take your basil out at the peak of its life. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
  7. 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.
