FAQ

Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.
Which seeds should I start indoors and which ones should I avoid?

How To
Basil Growing Tips
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds must be planted at the latest two weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots filled with potting mix. Place the pots in clear plastic wrap. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Germination typically takes around ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. 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. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will keep them warm and prevent water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be hydrated regularly to ensure its survival. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. You can also use a timer for the irrigation system to be turned off during dry spells.
-
You should pick your basil at its peak. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
-
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.
