😊 What makes basils happy?
🌱 Gently touching basil plants releases fragrant oils and tends to improve the flavour of your plant.
✂️ Trimming regularly will encourage more growth!
This well-loved, warmth-loving plant is quite easy to grow.
Here are some tips for a bountiful basil harvest!
1. They love being planted with other herbs and vegetables like tomatoes, beans, lettuce and root vegetables.
2. It's important to use good quality, well-draining soil.
3. Trim it regularly (when the plant is about 6 inches or 15 cm tall). The more your trim it, the leafier it becomes.
4. They don't do well in freezing temperatures.
5. Don't plant near rue, sage or fennel.
