– Spray the seeds and cover them with a plastic case to accelerate the germination process, don’t forget to make holes in the plastic case for the seeds to breathe.

– Basil is a warm-weather crop grown both indoors and outdoors.

– Basil is a plant that grows upwards, and some methods can be followed to change how it grows. It can be directed to grow horizontally instead of growing vertically and this is called lateral growth.

– This means that if growers clip the stem right above those lateral buds, they will be triggered to grow out. There are two ways growers can increase the production of that branch. When pruning, snip the stem right above the lateral buds. (Not at the base of the plant.) If you prune a basil plant correctly, you’ll see an increase in yield each time you harvest for the first three harvests at about weeks 5, 8, and 11.

– Allow the herb to receive lots of sunlight and warm air. The lemony-sweet scent of basil is unattractive to aphids, mites, and hornworms, keeping them away from your other herbs and plants.

– You can also dry or freeze Basil leaves throughout the summer.

Harvesting

– Start picking the leaves of basil as soon as the plants are 6 to 8 inches tall (around 15 cm).

– Once temperatures hit 80°F (27°C), basil will really start leafing out.

– Harvest in the early morning, when leaves are the juiciest.

– Make sure to pick the leaves regularly to encourage growth throughout the summer.

– Even if you don’t need the leaves, pick them to keep the plant going. Store them for later use!

– If you pick regularly, twelve basil plants can produce 4 to 6 cups of leaves per week.

– The best method for storing basil is freezing. Freezing will prevent the plant from losing a good portion of its flavor. To quick-freeze basil, package whole or chopped leaves in airtight, resealable plastic bags, then place in the freezer.

– Another storage method is drying the basil (although some of the flavor will be lost). Pinch off the leaves at the stem and place them in a well-ventilated and shady area. After 3 to 4 days, if the plants are not completely dry, place them in the oven on the lowest heat setting with the door slightly open. Remember to turn the leaves on the other side (for equal drying) and check them frequently.
