Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted two weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds in small pots that are 1/2 inch deep. Wrap the pots with clear plastic and place them in a sunny area. Germination can take up to ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.

Once the danger of frost is over, cover the plants with a thick mulch layer. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.

Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. A rain gauge can be used to measure how much water plants need. Also, use a timer to turn off the irrigation system during dry spells automatically.

When your basil reaches its peak, pick it. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.

Use paper towels to dry leaves. Dry the leaves in glass jars and bags in the fridge.
