TO PLANT DIRECTLY INTO THE GARDEN

In late spring once nights stay securely above 55°F (13°C), sow seeds 1 inch apart in well worked fertile soil in full sun. Cover 1⁄4 inch deep, firm soil and keep seed bed moist. Germination takes 1 to 2 weeks. After seedlings are well established, thin or transplant 8 inches apart.

TO START EARLY INDOORS

Sow seeds 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix, 4 to 6 weeks before last expected frost. Keep warm and evenly moist, and provide a good light source. When seedlings are large enough to handle, acclimate gradually to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden 8 inches apart.

GROWING NOTES

Remember—for successful plants, it is critical to sow or transplant basil into garden beds only when late spring day and nighttime temperatures stay above 55°F (13°C). Harvest sprays of leaves by snipping stems just above two new sprouting lateral branches to encourage lush foliage. Keep flower buds pinched off to extend harvesting. Feed regularly with high nitrogen fertilizer to promote new growth.
