Growing Your Basil Kitchen Herbs Italian Pesto

Sow your Basil Kitchen Herbs Italian Pesto seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost or directly outdoors once the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Sow seeds shallowly, about 1/4 inch deep, and gently cover.

Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs, typically within 7-14 days. When transplanting seedlings or thinning direct-sown plants, space them about 12-18 inches apart to allow for their full growth.

Water regularly, especially during warm weather, and harvest by pinching off the top sets of leaves to encourage bushier growth and maximize your flavorful harvest. For the best flavor, harvest the leaves before the plant begins to flower.
