How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could 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.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annual plant and will only live one season if it's not in the right place. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. 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 usually takes about 10 days. Once germinated, move the pots into a shaded area where temperatures stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Add potting mix to each container. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. 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.
-
Take your basil out at the peak of its life. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
Use paper towels or screens to dry the leaves. Place the leaves in glass jars, bags or in the refrigerator.
