How to grow basil

Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil is great to add flavor to dishes, sauces or pastas. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.

1. Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
2. Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination usually takes about ten days. Once they are germinated, transfer them to a protected area where the temperatures are at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to 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. As needed, add more potting mixture. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
4. Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
5. Water your plants frequently. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. To check how much water your plants need, you can use a rain gauge. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.
6. Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
7. Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
