How to grow basil
Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can use in your kitchen. Basil is great to add flavor to dishes, sauces or pastas. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. The pots should be covered with clear plastic wrap. Germination can take up to ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays 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. As needed, add more potting mixture. 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.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To check how much water your plants need, you can use a rain gauge. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
-
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. 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.
