Basil Genovese

Basil loves warmth and needs a sunny spot that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Plant in well-drained soil enriched with compost or other organic matter. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and water the plants at the base to avoid wetting the leaves. Basil benefits from regular feeding with a liquid fertilizer, especially if you're harvesting leaves regularly. Pinch off flower buds to encourage bushier growth and more foliage. Basil is sensitive to cold, so protect it from late spring frosts and plan to harvest before the first signs of fall frost.

Planting 4" potted herbs and vegetables is a straightforward way to enhance your garden. Select varieties like basil, parsley, tomatoes, and lettuce that thrive in your climate. Ensure they're planted in a sunny spot, whether in containers, raised beds, or directly in the ground. Carefully remove the plants from their pots, place them in slightly larger holes, and fill in with soil, pressing down lightly. Water thoroughly and maintain consistent soil moisture, preferably watering in the early morning. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, use organic control methods, and remove weeds promptly. Harvest herbs by trimming leaves as needed and pick vegetables at peak ripeness. This approach is ideal for a productive and flavorful garden.
