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.
