Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is needed. However, you can soak seeds in water for a few hours before planting to speed up germination.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly cover with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best results.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have at least two sets of true leaves. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows or beds.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Basil prefers consistent moisture but does not tolerate soggy soil. Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning: Pinch off the tops of the plants regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent flowering, which can reduce the plant's flavor. Harvesting: Harvest leaves as needed once the plants are well-established. Regular harvesting encourages new growth. For the best flavor, harvest leaves in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day.
Happy gardening!
