Organic Basile «Lime»
This is an annual aromatic plant containing essential oils. The plants are compact, well leafy. Has a strong lemon fragrant. Used in fresh form as a green salad, spicy additive in cooking and canning.
The culture is heat-loving, grown through seedlings, or directly planted in the soil in a well-heated soil, at an optimum temperature of 20 to 25 degrees. Seedlings appear after 10-15 days. They are placed on light soils rich in organic soils.
How to Grow
Basil needs 6 to 8 hours of sun; in the South and Southwest, it benefits from afternoon shade. Set out plants at least 2 weeks after the last frost in spring; summer planting is okay, too. Space at the distance recommended on the label, which is generally 12 to 18 inches apart.
Plants are very frost sensitive, so keep plants protected in case of a late cold spell. Basil likes rich, moist, but well-drained soil with a pH of 6 to 7. Because it is harvested continually for lots of leaves, it needs a little fertilizer. When planting, add plenty of organic nutrients from compost, blood meal, or cottonseed meal to the soil.
If planting in a container, use a large pot to keep the plants from drying out quickly in hot weather. You may also want to add mulch around the plants to help keep the soil moist and extend the time between waterings.
