As a mediterranian herb ideally grown above 20 Celsius. Basil seeds can be sown direct outside from late spring, through the summer. These seeds are organically produced.

Transplant the basil plants outside end of June, in a sunny/partly shady position, plants like dry and sunny conditions.

Keep picking the leaves to encourage further production. Harvest in masses just before flowewring and instead of drying try to freeze the leaves in smaller bags, this will preserve the fine taste.
