Basil Cultivation Manual

The phrase "Basil growing" often refers to the practice of cultivating or maintaining basil plants. The term refers to the process of nurturing basil plants so that their leaves can be harvested for use in a variety of contexts, including cooking.

Among the many tasks that go under the umbrella of "basil growing" are sowing seeds or transplanting young plants into a suitable environment (including soil, water, sunlight, and temperature) and tending to the plants through pruning, fertilizing, and pest and disease prevention. It's a catchall term for all the steps involved in bringing basil plants from seed to harvest.
