Gardener’s Tip

Sow seeds from March to July in a warm, sunny position in well-drained soil or containers. Basil thrives in warmth, so for earlier crops, seeds can be started indoors and transplanted outside once temperatures rise.

Regular harvesting helps encourage bushier plants and prevents flowering, which keeps the leaves tender and full of flavour. Pinch out the growing tips often to promote new leafy growth and enjoy a steady supply of fresh basil throughout the summer.
