Sowing

Timing: Plant lemon basil seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the last frost in Egypt.
Soil: Use well-draining, fertile soil with good aeration.
Planting: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in the soil and lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil.
Sunlight: Lemon basil thrives in full sun, so ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods.
Temperature: Lemon Basil prefers warm temperatures and can be sensitive to cold, so plant it after the risk of frost has passed.
Spacing: Space lemon basil seeds or seedlings about 12-18 inches apart.
Harvesting: You can start harvesting leaves when the plant reaches 6-8 inches in height. Regularly prune the plant by pinching off leaves to encourage bushier growth and continuous harvest.
