Did you wash the Tulsi first? Do you strain the tea (water) before consuming? I notice you did not do either, perhaps because the Tulsi was grown in your yard?

I grow tulsi and allow it to flower because I also have bees and they LOVE it. It does, like all other basils, stop them from bushing out but I sue both flower and leaf in my tea. If you were going for bulk I would suggest pinching flowers off foe the first month of two and you will have a very bushy plant of leaves who will then all flower. I have a lot of plants in one area so same effect.

This is one of the easiest plants to grow. As a matter of fact you can't get rid of it once established. The seeds will grow anywhere.

Can basil stay outside in winter?

Holy basil, you've been down too long in the midnight sea, oh what's becoming of me?

I am having so much trouble growing this variety. I planted it in a "tea garden" in a food forest garden model under a crab apple tree. Other tea herbs like mints, chamomile, lavender, thymes, oregano, sage, and many edible flowers are growing well, but not my holy basil. 😕 I thought i'd direct sew, like other basils, but none came up. I also direct seeded in a few tomato beds. Again, none came up. Even though I am well into the season, I decided to try again, but this time in start trays inside under grow lights. I am finally seeing sprouts. I'm not sure why I am having so many issues, especially since my other tea herbs are doing so well. Is this a plant that just does better started indoors?

Can Basil stay outdoors in winter?

@OrganicBackyardGardening

Жыл бұрын

Generally no. Basil is a warm-weather herb that is sensitive to cold temperatures. It is not frost-tolerant and may suffer damage or die if exposed to freezing temperatures for extended periods. Therefore, in most regions, it is recommended to grow basil as an annual. If you live in a mild climate where temperatures rarely dip below freezing, basil may survive outdoors during the winter with some additional care. However, it is still advisable to provide some protection, such as covering the plant with a frost cloth or bringing it indoors during particularly cold nights. In colder climates, it is best to grow basil as an annual or consider bringing it indoors for the winter. Basil can be successfully grown indoors as a potted plant, provided it receives sufficient sunlight (at least 6-8 hours of direct or bright indirect light per day) and proper care.
