Overview

Basil is a warm-weather herb grown for its aromatic leaves. Often used as a garnish, it adds delicious flavors to dishes. Basil is a source of Vitamins A, C, and K.

Conditions

For soil, use a potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables and herbs. Basil thrives in warm temperatures, optimum being 70–85°F. For the best quality leaves, provide basil with full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight) and consistent moisture (don’t let the topsoil become dry to the touch).

Planting

Basil can be planted directly outdoors when the ground is warm, or started indoors in starter pots. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 5–10 days. Basil can be planted outdoors directly or started indoors then transplanted:

For planting outdoors, plant seeds 1/4" deep, 2-3 seeds per inch. Firm the soil over the seeds. Thin plants to 4-8" apart for healthy, full plants. 

If starting indoors, plant seeds in starter pots 6 weeks prior to transplanting outdoors. Plant 1/4" deep and keep at 70°F for best germination. Transplant outdoors when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves, spacing at 4-8" apart.

Care

After the seedlings have produced their first six leaves, prune (removing a part of a plant to encourage growth) or cut the stem above the second set. This encourages the plants to start branching, resulting in more leaves for harvest. Every time a branch has six to eight leaves, repeat pruning the branches back to their first set of leaves. After about 6 weeks, pinch off the center shoot to prevent early flowering. If flowers do grow, just cut them off. 

Pests and Disease

Basil is not as afflicted with pests and disease as other plants, but it is prone to nutrient deficiencies. There are three reasons why basil yellows: too much water, too little sun, and/or not enough nutrients. If basil leaves are yellowing, temporarily stop watering, move the plant to a sunnier location, and feed it with a balanced organic fertilizer.

Harvest

Begin light harvesting after plants have become established at 6-8” tall. Harvest in the early morning, when leaves are at their juiciest. A full harvest should be completed just before the plants start to flower. Leaves are easily bruised when picking, so handle carefully. The best method for storing basil is freezing in an airtight, resealable plastic bag. Freezing will prevent the plant from losing a good portion of its flavor.

EASY TO MANAGE AND HIGH QUALITY
Style: Ballistic, Size: 75 FT
I love this pocket Hose. Bought a cheaper retractable hose when I saw the pocket Hose advertised because I thought it was little expensive. Well, it didn't last and it did not retract to smaller size like the pocket hose does, just not made as well. Love love love the light weight rather than the heavy plastic hose that crimps, twist, etc. I'm a smaller older person so dragging that around was a chore. So, when the other hose decided to leak in two more spots after one repair I didn't think twice about the price for the 75 foot that I wanted. So much invested in my yard, need tool to keep it watered. LOVE IT!!

A lightweight hose that performs like a heavyweight!
The Copper Head Expandable Garden Hose is my favorite hose to use when doing garden wastering chores. I am an avid gardener and need a sturdy hose that is portable. We have many gardens on our rural property, but no irrigation, so watering is essential in the summer droughts we’ve had lately. I like that the water drains out quickly and completely, which allows me to fill up containers until the hose is empty so we don’t waste the water. The outer cover is extremely durable, feels quite thick, so even if it catches on a branch, I don’t worry about the cover getting ruined. Also, the spray head and swivel connection make moving around while using the hose very easy. I can turn off the spray head with one finger and easily select another spray pattern as needed with the easy to use dial design. The hose does not tangle or kink, which also makes it easy to use. Even when the hose is filled with water, I am able to move around the gardens with ease. When I am done using the hose, I can put it in a reusable grocery bag to carry it in the garage and store it. I would not leave the hose full when done using it, nor leave it in the sun. When I am finished for the day, I drain it, put it in the bag, fold over the top, and leave it in the shade or put it in the garage so that it will not deteriorate. It’s my second year using it and it’s still like new. I love this hose! I recently bought two more 50 ft. ones!

BEST HOSE I EVER BOUGHT
I sure hope this thing lasts because it is simply the best garden hose I EVER bought! I’ve used it a lot in the 2 months since buying it, watering my plants, filling grow boxes, attaching to my pressure washer, etc. It does not kink, not even once. The pocket pivot connector is a nice touch, and the spray nozzle works great without the usual dripping of cheaper models. The hose expands as soon as you turn it on, so be ready. I bought the 100’ and got a $30 discount at the time. $69 "all in" is still a lot of money for a garden hose, but I am super pleased thus far. When you turn the water supply off, the hose will continue to spray for a couple minutes while it contracts, but again, it does so without tangles or kinks. Super lightweight and very easy to handle with a strong water flow. Only time will tell on durability, but thus far there’s been no “fraying” or signs of wear from dragging it across my driveway or rock landscape. I’ll re-evaluate after a season but I’m ready to replace my other hose with one of these. For now, I love it and highly recommend.

I am hopeful this new version of Pocket Hose is better built than earlier versions!
I have not had great luck with earlier versions of Pocket Hose products! I have had leaks, hose blowout holes, leaks at the facet connector and sprayer difficulty! BUT, I wanted to give the new Copper Head Hose a try. I like all the new features and feel they have made good enhancements to the hose quality! I have had the new hose for a week or so and it appears to be of better quality than previous versions. The hose is working great and I am hopeful it will last longer than the last ones. However the product is expensive and this will be my last purchase of Pocket Hose if I have ANY issues in the future. I will update my review in the future!
