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. ames-wood-handle-trowel,dr-earth-home-grown-174-tomato-vegetable-herb-fertilizer,raised-vegetable-bin,ebstone-organics-bigharvestgardensoil,corona-174-max-hd-cultivating-mattock
