We've always picked as the plant grew too large, then hung to dry, once dry stored in glass jars. A friend of mine, who is more experienced, said to keep the leaves on the stalk until you're ready to use. That keeps it fresher.

Well, I haven't harvested any just yet but Iv'e been doing alot of research online and from what Ive read they say to cut whenever u want to use some or to wait until u see some flowring happening and to cut then for better flavor. Also alot of people freeze their herbs after cutting to store them. So I think ill go that route.

I love sunflowers!! I once grew one that was taller than our garage!! That was in Nebraska. My soil is so old I am added things to it. I can't physically dig it up right now so that will have to do! What herbs are you growing??

Hi Arizona group! I live in south east Arizona. Only 45 minutes from Pam! I love to garden but don't have a large space, at this time, to use. I am using what space I do have to grow wild flowers, tomatoes, and herbs.
