Even if you’re already committed to growing sweet basil as your herb garden mainstay, it’s worth taking a look at what basil varieties are out there. The smaller Greek basil (Ocimum minimum) and other compact varieties top out at 1 to 1½ feet — great if you don’t want it to take up quite as much space — or you can try a larger variety that may reach as high as 4 feet. There are basils with showy purple or dark red foliage or with leaves that are distinctly ruffled. There are also a number of basils with distinctive flavors, including Siam Queen, ideal for Asian cuisine, and those with flavors reminiscent of anise, clove, licorice, lemon and lime.

Basil’s bright color and quick growth also ensure it can hold its own as an ornamental addition to the landscape. Gardeners can use the smaller basil varieties as a low border edging and mix varieties for a choice of flavors and a colorful garden patch.

Sow seeds ½ inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart; thin to 1 foot apart once seedlings appear. You can also start basil seeds indoors four to six weeks before planning to transplant. Set basil seedlings or nursery plants 10 to 12 inches apart.

Taking care of basil plants outdoors is relatively easy. They occasionally get bothered by slugs, snails and beetles or succumb to gray mold or black spot. Fusarium wilt may be a problem. If so, remove and destroy the basil plant and rotate the planting location on a three- to four-year cycle to prevent future problems. There are also basil varieties that are resistant to wilt.

You can start to harvest basil once the leaves reach a reasonable size. For continued production, don’t remove more than a third of the basil leaves. Cut just above a node to encourage branching and leaf production.

First, what's organic gardening? for many gardeners, organic means that growing vegetables, flowers, and alternative plants while not artificial pesticides and chemicals. This basic definition covers most of the advantages of going organic and therefore the reason several people and corporations select this approach.
