Overview

Basil is a warm-weather herb grown for its aromatic leaves. Often used as a garnish, it adds delicious flavors to dishes. Basil is a source of Vitamins A, C, and K.

Conditions

For soil, use a potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables and herbs. Basil thrives in warm temperatures, optimum being 70–85°F. For the best quality leaves, provide basil with full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight) and consistent moisture (don’t let the topsoil become dry to the touch).

Planting

Basil can be planted directly outdoors when the ground is warm, or started indoors in starter pots. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 5–10 days. Basil can be planted outdoors directly or started indoors then transplanted:

For planting outdoors, plant seeds 1/4" deep, 2-3 seeds per inch. Firm the soil over the seeds. Thin plants to 4-8" apart for healthy, full plants. 

If starting indoors, plant seeds in starter pots 6 weeks prior to transplanting outdoors. Plant 1/4" deep and keep at 70°F for best germination. Transplant outdoors when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves, spacing at 4-8" apart.

Care

After the seedlings have produced their first six leaves, prune (removing a part of a plant to encourage growth) or cut the stem above the second set. This encourages the plants to start branching, resulting in more leaves for harvest. Every time a branch has six to eight leaves, repeat pruning the branches back to their first set of leaves. After about 6 weeks, pinch off the center shoot to prevent early flowering. If flowers do grow, just cut them off. 

Pests and Disease

Basil is not as afflicted with pests and disease as other plants, but it is prone to nutrient deficiencies. There are three reasons why basil yellows: too much water, too little sun, and/or not enough nutrients. If basil leaves are yellowing, temporarily stop watering, move the plant to a sunnier location, and feed it with a balanced organic fertilizer.

Harvest

Begin light harvesting after plants have become established at 6-8” tall. Harvest in the early morning, when leaves are at their juiciest. A full harvest should be completed just before the plants start to flower. Leaves are easily bruised when picking, so handle carefully. The best method for storing basil is freezing in an airtight, resealable plastic bag. Freezing will prevent the plant from losing a good portion of its flavor.

Great basic dog bed
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
We really needed additional places for my dog to rest, besides hanging out on the furniture. He gets to be a little jerky and presumptuous, thinking he owns the joint when he lies all over the bed and couches. So the extra dog beds were necessary additions to the house. He took to this one right away. Sure, he still will try to sneak onto the human bed, the couch, the chair - especially when food is involved in the picture. But he does like this bed. The only real negative I have is that it's whitish on top. It shows dirt kind of easily and time will tell how well it will stand to multiple washings. It's soft. It's cushy. It looks pretty descent for a dog bed. He can curl up in it nicely and relax. Basically it does what it should and he seems relatively happy to hang out on it. Now, if Amazon could make a dog bed that could actually train the dog - that would be incredible!

Better than beds I've spent double the money on!
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
This bed is actually amazing for the price. My chihuahua digs a hole through every bed he's ever had except this one. The bottom actually went flat before he was able to dig a hole into the fabric. But since its such a great bed, i cut open the bottom and restuffed it from the filling from an old pillow and stitched it back up so he can keep enjoying it. Abd if he eventually does dig a hole in it, ill be rebuying this same bed.

My cat used it right away!
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
My large long-hair orange cat is a bed hoarder. He has at least 5 or 6 beds around the house, and uses every one of them (at different times, of course). But lately he's started sleeping on my pillow during the day, but going to bed at night on a pillow covered in his long orange hair wasn't cutting it for me. So I purchased one more bed for him - because heaven help me if I should move one of his other beds. What we won't do for our babies! Anyway, I put this new bed near my pillow and he's been using the bed instead of my pillow. It's soft and the bolsters are thick and it's just the right size for him to curl up in! He loves it! Win-win!

Lopsided, but works
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
It's soft and good cat size. The bottom stuffing is uneven, so it leans a lot, no matter how I rotate it for the cat to try to even it out. But the old cat loves it, especially since it's positioned in a perfect spot; a "corner" by a hallway, so it feels safe, while letting the cat see everything from that out of the way vantage point. I've been trying to get him to use beds again (had to throw some out b/c he gets seizures which can result in loss of bladder control). It only took a few days for him to "discover" the new bed, and start adding it to his nap rotations. and he looks so cute in it.
