Green Thumb Guide

Plant in enriched garden soil 1-2 weeks after last frost. Leave 8"-10" of space between each plant. Fertilize when transplanting and again after first harvest. Water early morning or late evening. Harvest basil leaves at about 1"-3" long by pinching them off at the stem. For best flavor, pick early in the morning when leaves have their highest oil content. ebstone-organics-tomatoevegetablefood,corona-174-comfort-trowel,greenall-plantingmix,bonide-captain-jacks-dead-bug-flower-and-vegetable-dust,chives
