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.
