When to sow: Sow outdoors February to June and indoors all year round!

 When to harvest: 50-75 days after planting your seeds. 

To create a full basil plant it will need to be pruned early on. When three sets of true leaves have appeared, there will be one on top and two sets on either side of the main stem. Once the two smaller sets start growing, you can cut off the main stem just above the set of leaves. Your plant should produce two more stems where the leaves are. When the new shoots are 4 inches long. Repeat this process on the new stems.

Top tip: Keep your basil plants on the dry side, and keep them sheltered from draughts. The key to a healthy basil plant is regular harvesting!
