Planting and Growing Instructions: 1. When to Plant: Start indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after frost risk passes. Basil thrives in warm weather, so wait until soil reaches at least 60°F (15°C). 2. How to Sow: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in moist, well-draining soil. Germinates in 5–10 days at 70–75°F (21–24°C). Thin seedlings to 6–12 inches apart once they develop true leaves. 3. Growing Tips: Water consistently—keep soil moist but not soggy. Pinch growing tips regularly to promote bushier growth and prevent early flowering. Harvest leaves often, starting from the top. Can be grown indoors on a sunny windowsill. 4. Companion Planting: Basil deters aphids and whiteflies—great when planted with tomatoes, peppers, and oregano.
