Care and Harvest

Aphids are a common pest, but you can use our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay! Root rot and Downy Mildew are also common diseases best controlled by regular root checksand removing any leaves with brown spots as they appear.

Harvesting frequently helps prolong the plant's life. Pinch off individual leaves, or use clean shears to cut stems above growth nodes. Find growth nodes just above the two largest leaves on a stem. You should see another, small set of leaves or knobs (nodes) growing between the stem and larger set of leaves. Cut the stem 1/4-1/2″ above the nodes and watch the small leaves grow large!

Taste and Use

Basil is an outstanding way to add flavor to pasta, pizzas, or salads. It's also delicious in pesto. Enjoy Basil flowers sprinkled over any meal.

Origin

People in India were the first to domesticate Basil. In 300 BC, it's believed Alexander the Great introduced Basil to the Occident. The Greeks immediately adopted its use, as did the Romans later on. Today, Basil is a key ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. The Greek word for Basil, Basilikos, means “royal plant” or “little king”.
