Harvesting Your Garden
(Continued)
Bunching Herbs
(such as cilantro, chives and parsley)
•
Harvest herbs that grow in a bunch
by cutting an entire stem – just the
stem,
not
the entire plant!
•
Select the oldest stems, found
near the outer edges of the plant.
(
These stems are generally wider
than the younger ones and the
leaves may have some yellow
around the edges.
)
•
Make your cut near the base
of the stem.
Also, remember to remove stems that
shade other plants in your garden.
