How to Grow
To start, you'll need some basil seeds of your choice, rich soil, and a sunny spot. Basil loves sunlight, so find a place that gets at least six hours of sun each day. If you're growing in pots, choose ones with good drainage holes to keep the roots healthy. Fill your pots or garden bed with nutrient rich soil, giving your seeds the best start possible.
Sprinkle the seeds lightly over the soil, then cover them with a thin layer of soil just enough to hide them from view. Water gently, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. In about a week, you’ll see tiny green sprouts emerging. As your basil grows, thin the seedlings to give each plant enough space to flourish. Soon, you'll have a lush, green plant ready to harvest. Snip the leaves regularly to encourage new growth, and enjoy the delightful, fresh taste of homegrown basil in your meals. Happy gardening!
