When and Where to Plant- Start indoors and transplant outside 2-3 weeks before your last expected frost. Choose an area in the garden that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight. The soil should be well-draining with a pH around 6.5. For a fall crop start seedlings in May and transplant in June-July.

Care and Harvest- Basil does not need much, if any, fertilization. Be sure to keep the soil damp, but not soggy. You can start to harvest from your Basil plant when it is 6-8" tall. Harvest frequently to encourage more growth.
