Basil Tips and Tricks

• Basils germinate quite fast, in 5 to 6 days, and produce first leaves in a couple of weeks.
• The growth speeds up about one month from sowing.
• Pinch off the tips of each stem in one capsule when they are approx. 5 cm tall. Now the stems branch and produce even more leaves to enjoy!
• You can harvest both big leaves and the stem tips.
• If you wish to have this herb for weeks, only use around 30% at a time.
• If the plants grow too tall, you can cut them at the halfway or even lower.
• The white flowers are beautiful and edible, but to avoid bitterness in leaves use them in decoration.
