Hey guys,
I havent really touched any of my herbs and the reason is simple: I dont want to do any damage.
Mint: it is growing like crazy and I only have the guts to snip of 2-3 leaves at the bottom (ones that look healthy obviously...the rest I pluck and throw away if they are turning yellowish).
Is there anything else I should do to keep my mint plant healthy and harvest gradually to have a fresh supply of mint leaves at home?
I was told to cut the top when flowers appear. That's noted, but are there any other things to do?
Basil: it is still growing. So, I havent harvested anything from it yet. I read somewhere that I should snip the top off when the plant reaches a 7 inch size. Will that do? Then I guess baby leaves will appear on the side of the nod, right? As you can see I am slightly lost when it comes to what to do with the basil.
Let me upload 2 images of them so that you could see what I am working with here:
