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. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Carefully choose your 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're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. You should sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch in small pots. Wrap the pots with clear plastic and place them in a sunny area. Germination usually takes about 10 days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. 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. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
-
Use paper towels to dry leaves. Store dried leaves in glass jars or bags in the refrigerator.
