Harvesting Tips

  

 

  • Begin harvesting herbs when the plants have enough foliage to maintain growth.

 

 

  • Collect herbs for flowers just before they are full bloom. 

 

  • Annual herbs can be harvested until frost. 

 

  • Harvest in the morning after the dew dries but before the heat of the day. 

 

 

  • Herbs grown for their foliage should be harvested before they flower.
