Basil Growing Tips
Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. Basil is great to add flavor to dishes, sauces or pastas. Here are some tips for growing basil indoors at home.

It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. 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 not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination can take up to ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Add potting mix to each container. As necessary, you can add more potting material. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. Mist the plants daily to prevent wilting.

After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.

You should water your plants often. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.

When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.

Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
