1/4 tablespoon, approximately 75+ seeds.
 
Start seeds indoors: Start basil seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting tray or pots filled with moist seed-starting mix.
 
Keep the soil moist: Water seeds regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Basil seeds typically germinate in 5-10 days.
 
Provide ample light: Basil seedlings need plenty of light. Place them in a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 12-16 hours per day.
 
Transplant outdoors: Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart.
 
Harvest: Begin harvesting basil leaves once the plant is about 6-8 inches tall. Pinch off leaves from the top to encourage bushier growth. Regular harvesting encourages continued production.
