27 Harvesting Your Garden
Bunching Herbs
(such as chives and parsley)
•
Harvest herbs that grow
in a bunch by cutting an
entire stem – just a stem,
not the entire plant!
•
Select the oldest stems,
found near outer edges
of plant . (These stems
are generally wider than
younger ones and leaves
may have some yellow
around the edges.)
•
Cut near the base of stem .
Also, remember to remove
stems that shade other
plants in your garden .
Branching Herbs
(such as mint, basil, oregano)
•
Cut plants just above a set
of leaves (growth point)
not more than halfway
down stem .
Also harvest by cutting just
above a termination point
(where one stem meets
another) .
•
Cut wider (older) of
two stems .
