How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavouring dishes, as well as adding flavor to soups and sauces, pasta, and desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
It is important to choose the right location. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds must be planted at the latest two weeks before last frost. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination typically takes around ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. The plastic wrap should be removed and the seedlings transplanted into larger containers. Fill each container with potting mix and add some gravel or pebbles to help drain excess moisture. 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.
-
Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs to be hydrated regularly to ensure its survival. To determine how much water your plants require, use a rain gauge. 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. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
