Basil grows well in containers indoors at any time of year provided you can supply enough light. For outdoor growing, sow basil seedsthroughout late spring for transplanting to the garden after the summer solstice. Or direct sow in early summer, once the soil has warmed up. Basil requires warm soil and full sun. Optimal temperature for germination: 21C (70F). Seeds should sprout in 5-10 days.
Sow seeds 1cm () deep in sterilized seed starting mix. Basil is prone to damping off, so once seeds sprout, make sure they are adequately ventilated, and kept under very bright light. Thin to 20-25cm (8-10) apart. Using bottom heat speeds germination.
