6. Harvesting Without Killing Your Herbs
•You're preparing to whip up some pesto and realize you need a lot of basil. But will plucking all those leaves
harm the plant?
•Fear not! Regularly harvesting basil leaves through gentle pinching or precise scissor cuts is beneficial.
•However, there are some guidelines to heed:
1.Never strip more than one-third of the plant's foliage at a time.
2.Please wait until the plant has produced ample foliage to sustain its growth before harvesting.
3.When plucking basil leaves, aim to cut sprigs just below leaf clusters.
4.For parsley and chives, trim them at the base of the stem.
•That's all there is to it! Most herbs are pretty resilient. If you accidentally take more than intended, give the plant
time to bounce back.
