Sowing Instructions:

1. When to Sow: Sow seeds indoors from March to May, or outdoors from late May to June once frost risk has passed.
2. Soil Preparation: Use a well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Incorporate organic compost for added nutrients.
3. Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep, lightly covering with fine soil. Space seeds about 10-15 cm apart.
4. Germination: Seeds will typically germinate within 7-14 days at a temperature of 20-25°C.

Growing Instructions:

1. Transplanting: If sowing indoors, transplant seedlings when they have 2-3 sets of true leaves, spacing plants 20-30 cm apart.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Water in the morning to keep leaves dry and reduce the risk of disease.
3. Soil Care: Regularly remove weeds around plants to reduce competition for nutrients. Mulching can help retain moisture and keep soil temperature stable.
4. Fertilising: Basil is a light feeder, but applying a balanced fertiliser once a month can encourage growth and vibrant leaf colour.
5. Pest Control: Monitor for aphids and other pests. Use organic pest control methods or hand-remove insects as necessary.
6. Harvesting: Start harvesting leaves when plants are about 15 cm tall. Pinch off leaves as needed, taking care not to remove more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure ongoing growth. Regular harvesting encourages a bushier plant.
